If everyone has one, it's not a status symbol.

The article talks about using the Kei truck as a replacement for a UTV/Side-by-Side, not for a daily truck. These /r/fuckcars people have never done real work in their lives and are just larping. 1100 pound tow capacity couldn't even tow most empty trailers.

iPhones somehow manage to be a status symbol even with 50% of the US population owning one

Really, iPhones are status symbols, in 2023? Do people turn their head to look at you as you walk down the street, because you own an iPhone?

Kids are bullied and excluded for not having "blue bubbles" and men are told "swipe left if you have green bubbles" on tinder.
