100%. Techies are such an unrepresentative niche:
* Don't like to pay for anything
* overly privacy conscious and minimalistic
* highly opinionated, vocal and demanding in ways that probably won't help the mainstream (eg want high customisablity)
* high levels of autism mean they focus on irrelevant minutae, often perfectionistic. low appreciation of aesthetics
* accept things that are broken/way too difficult to use for non technical people
* dismissive of things that are easy if they could build them as well
Etc, etc
- JCharante 3y agoWho says they don’t like to pay for things?
- sebastialonso 3y agoI'd argue this is the reason Reddit outage is definitely more mainstream than it "should" be (meaning organically). In reality no one gives a flying fuck about subreddits closing, they just want their memes.
