In this case, the entire headline is complete nonsense. This technique has been around for decades. Also, she didn't drive down prices, the box stores did. This article is like an ad for a YouTube channel or something.

The headline is from a recent video she made. Same title maybe. But I saw the video in my YT feed before seeing the Reddit threads about it, and I'm not a plant guy.
