I'm not sure I completely buy that explanation. Smut used to come in magazines, but I don't see any not-for-children web sites advertising their junk using a fake picture of a magazine wrapped in black plastic. Online photo printing places don't show a picture of a tiny little Kodak hut in a parking lot. Lots of things have changed over the years, but software companies seem to be the only ones that think it's cool to fake a picture of a cardboard box. In fact, even if it was a real cardboard box, if you've gotta take a picture of a BOX that's pretty damn sorry. Plus, they were doing it before the internet was even available to the common Joe... stuff that never came in a box to begin with like BBS subscriptions.
Ah well. I will never understand. I'm going shopping for a new drone and I hope they don't show me pics of cardboard boxes.
