You're comparing the output of a small business with a multinational behemoth that has the advantages in procurement and manufacturing due to volume. What's the point of making that comparison and effectively negging someone's work?

People buy products based on the value proposition of those products, not because they are hippies that want to support independent technology makers.

I don't understand why factual statement and reality checks get modded down; this is just plain denial.

What an odd reply. Where possible, I will try and support independent technology makers, often even if that means it's a slightly worse/different product.

Just because you're cynical and jaded, doesn't mean that everyone else is. You're not giving a factual reality check, you're just being an ass
