Complaining about this topic is equivalent to complaining about the fact that water won't flow uphill.  And the results of the complaining will be about equally effective in both cases.

I can't control what other people choose to do.  Nor can anyone.  When it comes to matters of personal taste: if I choose to "go against the flow" -- then I do so for myself.  Not in the hopes that others, en masse, will fall in line behind me.  That would be a forlorn hope.

When you come right down to it: people tend to go their own way, and they tend to buy what they like: rather than what someone else says that they should like (by whoever's chosen definition of "should").  People are like that.  Heh -- and this is a reality which has been the bane of every frustrated utopian who's ever attempted to force other people to fit into an "ideal" mold.  Hint: it doesn't work.  People just won't fit into that mold.  They'll keep buying what they want to buy -- no matter what I or what anyone else has to say about it.

Anyone can get bitter about it, if they like.  But water still won't flow uphill regardless.  Personally, I choose to go my own way.....and to let others concern themselves with their own buying decisions.  I'm sure that they'll buy whatever they buy without the slightest internal reference as to whether or not I happen to approve of their purchases -- for ideological reasons or otherwise.
