Ultra principled users rarely if ever buy new devices or have predictable purchasing patterns in almost any way. Trying to appease this market is mostly a fools game, as they have learned.

I think it's like how everyone smart knows that small hatchbacks are the only cars worth buying, and everyone smart also knows that only idiots buy new cars. So, all new cars are made for idiots and no small hatchbacks get made :)

I’m sorry what? I read that comment and all I see is someone incapable of understanding that other people’s needs differ from their own, and only _smart_ people pick the choice that they themselves would make. It reeks of ignorance and being judgemental.

Haha. To close the loop on the comparison, you'll notice that the people I'm calling smart do not get what they want, in the end. Maybe not so smart after all, eh?

Doubling down is bold, but to be honest if you had the self reflection required to see my point, you wouldn’t have said what you said in the first place.

It is only your blind ego that is making you incorrectly assume these things about other people.

Sigh. I'm poking fun at the people I'm calling "smart", because they are too clever for their own good. Chill out a little, friend.

I mean, act smug and flippant and superior and get treated like you’re acting smug and flippant and superior.
