@OldChicoAle @Coelacanth I’ve always found this a weird argument. Literally every major tech we use is never because the normies understood it. Like I’ve lived through them getting the home PC, AOL, myspace, smartphones, etc etc. Normies never just start to use this stuff. They get dragged to it and taught how to use it by the other people in their lives who show them. It’s exceedingly rare for a normal person to see an ad and go ‘why yes, this is the thing for me!’ They always have a helper holding their hand.
