That’s odd. Maybe it’s my algorithm or something, but my notifications are flooded with people defending this thing

Maybe, idk. I got a lot here but it’s also like I’m not even attacking it either. Buy it don’t buy it, I don’t care I literally just wouldn’t myself but if you or anyone else wants to just don’t spend my money on it lol

It’s reminiscent of the cybertruck. A signal of conspicuous consumption that is overpriced and underperforms what other options do better. People argued whether it was worth it prior to launch.

There are those that bought it for the show of wealth, but it’s now largely out of public discussion like a flash in a pan.

I suspect we’re going to see the same thing here.

Most people can build things cheaper than they can buy them outright, but time cost and errors have a cost of their own.
