ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Confusopoly

Confusopoly is like going to a toy store and seeing a lot of different toys that do similar things, but you don't know which toy is better than the others. This happens because the companies that make these toys try to make them sound really special and different, even if they're not actually that different.

Companies might do this on purpose to make it hard for you to choose which toy to buy. They want you to feel confused, so that you might end up just buying one of their toys, even if it's not the best one for you.

In the same way, there are some companies that make products or offer services that are really similar to each other, but they use fancy words and complicated terms to make it hard for you to understand what they're actually doing. These companies are trying to confuse you, so that you might decide to pick their product or service without really knowing if it's the best one for you.

So, just like in a toy store, it's important to do your research before choosing a product or service. Make sure you understand what you're getting, and don't be fooled by fancy words or complicated terms.
