  > What?? If there ever was proof that HN is completely clueless about reality not empathetic of their fellow humans The simple answer is that the real disconnect is thinking that since someone comments on HN, he is some kind of a mythical creature. I am a middle aged man from Italy that saw mobile phones birth when was 20 already. Don't assume that your experience is my experience. Nobody I know closely knows what HN is, they ask me what phone to buy or which laptop, because I've always been the "techie" of the family/group of friends and because they care about not wasting their money but can't navigate the bullshit they see in the ads. I guess that "blast past fast" or "do what you can" don't really say anything about the device true capabilities and why one should spend their money to buy it. unless the reason is "I will buy whatever rich people buy" or "I like the colour of this one" Of course the iPhone ads work, because they don't promote the phone, they sell a way of life, a lifestyle, their target is the "cool kids" that want to be "content creators" and that appeals to their desire to be part of what is fashionable among their peers, but that's exactly what brainwashing is. Ads is brainwashing and it's scientifically weaponized against the reference target. repetita iuvant: they don't promote the product, they exploit your sentiments, desires, fears, whatever works, to make you buy the product. But are actually a bunch of lies.
