Amen. It would even be valid suggesting that a point and shoot outclasses mobile phone cameras. Also, please before someone does, do not use the “The best watercolors are the watercolors you have on you” trope.

Indeed. The “If you aren't paying you are the product” is an anachronistic and ignorant trope leveraged in fanfolk wars. It excuses those things that are paid for and are further monetised. Take for example your music purchases and a “

And they get it wrong right out of the gate. There is a distinction between a colour encoding model and a colour space. RGB is a relative colour encoding model, not a colour space. More poorly written misinformation to keep confusing the “h
