I have twenty different burger joints within walking distance that sells a better hamburger at the same price as McDonalds, yet McDonald's is still making bank.

I think your saying create a better product and do less marketing. But McDonald's puts out a crappy products and dominates in marketing - and that's why they make so much money.
