I believed fanboyism was left at the 2010s


You were wrong. Ever hear people talking about AMD gpus online?

It’s crazy how normalized it is for certain fanboys to just call everyone who disagrees with them “brainless”, “ruled by mindshare”, “buying it for the blue bubble”, etc. I see it all the time even on HN, it is crazy how normalized the android and AMD fans have made it to just insult a group of people to their faces. Even in a tightly moderated community!

But put out one article saying “yo M1 is a good laptop” and watch the “I thought we left fanboyism in the 90s!!!” replies flood in.


What about NVIDIA fanbois?

They will buy NVIDIA, irrespective to whatever else is available at any given price point.
