@pluralistic@mamot.fr Well, it is difficult to confront the fact that you’ve paid extra for a thing and perhaps not gotten your money’s worth. I think that the temptation to delude yourself into believing that you paid extra because 1) you’re a more discerning consumer who can appreciate the superiority of the product you bought and 2) you’re not a plebe who can’t afford the superior product, is very strong.
