At what point do we stop glazing tech companies and draw the line in the sand and say this crap won’t be tolerated anymore?
Unfortunately I think the glazing is led by influencers who aren’t affected by the price increases. And they figure — likely, correctly — that if they don’t give the company good coverage, they’ll be scooped, and forgotten. But, that’s where you start. With the fanboys. The loudest supporters.
The alternative is, these things just keep going up until the line is drawn and enough people hold it. And sure, it’s fine if you bought at the lower price… until you need a new one.
Draw the line in the sand how? What's the alternative? slap 20 AAs on the back
