    Nah, I’m talking about everything. Tons of people still ride bikes for transport and don’t identify as cyclists, or don’t really care whether their phone is an android or iPhone. A large majority of people don’t identify with little details of their lives like that, but when you go online into a specific topic there’s a much higher chance of running into people who feel really strongly about it, because they’re drawn to the topic and are participating in a subset of people who already tend to be really passionate about nerdy shit.

      See I have those experiences while not online. Maybe it’s a cultural thing but I feel like online people are often less about the lifestyle.

      I can’t remember the last time I saw someone make an Apple product their lifestyle online but I know of a handful in person.
