Do you make your purchasing decisions based on these categories? Best camera, best battery etc.?
No, but it's not really the point of this video.

Ryan Gosling the Sigma Male poster boy of the decade.
It's a marketing and publicity stunt, kinda like Nothing's fiasco with the Sunbird app. The goal is to get people talking about them and come out looking like the good guy underdog vs Apple. To be fair their plan is probably working judging by how many people are jumping out in front of Beeper and condemning "Big Apple", even though Apple is just doing what any service provider should be doing.

OR this is a Lemmyshitpost moment because we are all taking part in making this guy and his well-timed tweet go viral.
In both cases I think they would deny it.
I don't have a solution for the 2nd situation (and I don't think anyone really does), this is more of a social problem. The point I'm making is that in the first scenario there is a clear pattern of denial for those who need help.
In terms of how you differeniate it, my understanding is if the behavior is impacting your life negatively then you would seek help. But I'm not an expert and that's not a problem we are solving here.

You can freely think that I am one, and I genuinely think I'm not. If you think that I am one, that's your problem, not mine.
I mean that's exactly the issue lol. You might not be an alcoholic, but if you were there's a solid chance you'd deny that fact.There is a good reason why parts of the 12 step program involve admitting and recognizing that there is a problem, and it's not limited to alcoholism but substance abuse in general.
A lot of people who genuinely need help refuses to see or admit that they do.
It's because denial is part of being an alcoholic. The same goes with being called a liar.
What’s your point? If a game came out on console, it doesn’t matter that it was ever an arcade game?
Dude I literally told you my point in the next paragraph lol.
Whoops! My bad. Millennials started in 1981 and I was born in 1980. Guess I was never a millennial after all except the years keep changing and I’ve seen start dates of 1980, 1979, and 1978 as well. It’s hard to keep track when the date keeps changing.
Yeah let's make it all about you! So offended, so sad. Look, I'm not really interested in indulging you because this debate is a big nothingburger. I've made my case and other people can weight in. But feel free to continue blowing all the hot air you like.
The amazing mental gymnastics that these people go through to justify their piracy and inane behaviors.
Musician's pay is just the excuse of the day for them to feel okay about what they're doing. Honestly, if you are gonna pirate then just pirate, stop pretending that it's for a good cause or higher purpose, other than to keep your own wallets stacked.
