    Most people don't know there is a huge oversupply of diamonds, so much so that they are practically worthless. The only reason they are still valuable is because the output is squeezed down to such a low level people just think they're valuable.

    which brings us to the next paradox :

    child pornography is the rarest form of pornography amongst all types of pornography

    but the majority of them are being distributed / shared for free.
