I don&#x27;t understand why the article is written as if there was a conclusion. It seems like there are more questions than answers at this point.<p>Maybe the products were just too expensive and those &quot;harbingers&quot; are all just rich people?<p>Or maybe those people were early adopters who saw potential value in the product, but the product was just too shitty for mainstream consumers?<p>So if your product fails, just blame the people with low standards who initially bought it!
