This could be said about any hobby. Why should people that like to read buy physical books? Why should people that like to take photographs print on film? Etc.


Yes but not everyone is a hobbyist so not everyone needs so much stuff. Some people’s hobby is antique car collecting. Not everyone can do it. That’s fine. I’m not mad. Today your Legos hobbyist collects “rare” sets or whatever. It’s not cheap. All I am saying is that we don’t need an overabundance of things be they junk or even quality systems. There is a useful amount and then there is excess.


You have not explained how our current policy is doing anything to achieve this goal. Notably the quote that started this subthread was specifically about rat fucking the public then dismissing their pain it would be a let them eat cake moment were it not lost in the chaos of all the other stupid heinous things he's said
