We all know those people. They aren't called tech enthusiasts. It's the need to say "Oh you like that? Well this thing that I like is like yours, but subjectively better, just so you're aware."
Neato.
Tech fanboys, man, they're weird. The fanboys of the dominant companies are annoyingly proud but seem to keep to themselves (because they're on top, so who cares what anyone else is doing?). The fanboys of the less significant companies always squawk about like they've got to prove something. Perhaps even some weird duty to anyone who explicitly likes Apple to "inform" them of why they're wrong.
Some of the comments in the OnePlus thread are pretty passionately positive. Would seem strange to roll in there and talk about the why it isn't as good as the iPhone. Sometimes it's nice to just let people collectively enjoy something that isn't harming a single soul (anymore than any other similar product).
You see it with everything though, as pointed out, it's just one of those "the world could be better without" kind of things. |
To Mad Men watchers it's like this:
Ginsberg (Android fanboys): "I feel bad for you."
Don (Apple fanboys): "I don't think about you at all."
