       People seem to think I’m against the Commodore currently being crowdfunded - I’m not, I’m fully for a new accessible machine - my problem is that all the marketing around the machine is very obviously an ego trip.  It’s not the old Commodore come back again, the same that the previous owners weren’t Commodore, it’s not a new machine, it’s a bargain collection of existing proven components.  None of these things were necessary- they were just to puff up self importance

       And then they hire someone seemingly solely because he was on a TV program about IT, who has a troubling accusation hanging over him.All unnecessary, none of that stuff needed to happen, it wasn’t important to what people wanted. It was just to make people feel important.The website is just a word salad with contradictory information (check out the use of AI for a good example)

       And this whole situation has become like a cult, people are even paying bot farms to post negative comments on any video that even seems to be against the product.And it’s going to get worse, once the units go out to the uhh, let’s say morally flexible, YouTubers and bloggers this ego trip will just get out of hand.Why am I so vocal about this?  Because I’ve seen what the endgame is, we all have, and I know how this hurts the community if it goes unchecked
