I can’t help but sympathise with the author’s pain. While coffee isn’t subjected to this sort of annoying market here, plenty other things are.
Like wine. I got my favs but I can’t be arsed to listen to crap about which grapes, origins etc. are “objectively better”. Tomorrow I’ll be probably drinking some beer instead - because I don’t care about being “that sort of person who drinks wine”, I just want to enjoy my drink dammit.
Or computer pieces. I built my computer with pieces that are good for someone who plays games. I’m even willing to put fancy stuff like a LED strip. But I don’t care about “gamer” stuff, I don’t care about “as a gamer REEEEEE”, and I’m fucking tired of computer pieces being marketed as if they dictated who you are.
