It is genuinely lost on me why tech nerds specifically have a hard time grasping the idea that they are not the only people that matter. That sometimes, someone will know that something will upset computer nerds, and will still do the thing, because they see it as worth it overall.

Like spoilt children. I genuinely don’t know if it’s the decades of SV pandering or what.

MOST OF THE TIME, NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU. And they’re probably right not to.

Instead of picturing spoiled children, who are mad about something that doesn't matter, like spilled ice cream, instead consider civil rights movements, for the modern era. The point is to make people care about something that will affect them, sooner or later. Like the right to repair. Nerdy at, until farmers got involved, and there are specific monetary issues involved. Most of the time, people don't care, but people are going to care if farmers don't do their job and there's no food.

You seem to be missing the underlying reason(s) why tech nerds are, well, tech nerds. 0dd to be angry about tech nerds being tech nerdy about things.

In a forum for tech nerds, of all places.

This is a pretty dumb response, not only because the idea that knowledgeable people matter ≠ knowledgeable people are the "only people that matter," but also because the alternative that you're crowing about is that nobody matters (other than you, the person selling the thing.) You're accusing people of being narcissistic for wanting any information, and bragging about only being guided by your own desires. It's really a moral toilet.

The "tech nerds" is a bullshit term for "people with the background to understand the explanation." If you're not explaining it to them, you're not explaining it to anyone. You're just subjecting everyone to your whims, and really should be regulated into the unemployment line.
