HN readers are not the typical consumer. I guess the majority here will buy after making a comparative table and a Phyton/Go/node script to scrap prices from the web. :)
OTOH the typical consumer wants to "feel good" and part of a "special club" when buying, they want "an experience". That's what Nike sells along with the shoe, and that amounts to 80% of the price. /half-joking
- Noos 9y agoHN users are just as vulnerable to branding as anything else; it's just different values. Linux in particular is a massive triumph of branding; it's success is based much more on the intangible benefits of open source and that particular "lifestyle" than utility compared to its competitors. Not a few products position to this crowd, namely the various phones for privacy geeks as one example.
