That intro... Yeah Dyson's are pricy, but is it really necessary to put on a hair shirt just to write about it? If you are really troubled by what someone will think about you for writing about an expensive fan, maybe work on caring less.
- rconti 1y agoThat struck me, too. I listen to plenty of tech and car podcasts, so I'm quite used to people acknowledging their privilege in complaining about their latest $2000 gadget or the $600,000 car some manufacturer lent them to complain about for a week. I get it! When you're nit-picking a $600,000 car you can't afford, you're not saying it's worse than a Camry, but you're just pointing out the things that could be better. That's fine, but of course it will attract the haters in the comments. But still, the note at the beginning of this one struck me. I'm not sure we need a warning on _every_ single article. If the warning served to keep the snarky comments away, great. But this is the internet. People are gonna snark anyway, so the caveat up front doesn't accomplish what one might hope it would.
