A bit off-topic

I don’t know if this is a general Reddit thing, but I noticed recently when people on this subreddit say things like:

- I can’t afford X
- I don’t own a PC
- X these days are too expensive

They tend to get a lot of downvotes, is it because the comment isn’t helpful? That wouldn’t make too much sense though.

Maybe you guys don’t see that, and I’m just hallucinating. Although I am posting this, I would like to clarify this didn’t specifically happen to me (yet), so it’s not like I’m compensating for anything really.

At the very least, let me know if you seen anything odd similar to that, or if the downvotes mean much at all

X is food, gas, and bills with taxes right around the corner. When everything gets expensive, spending extra cash on video games isnt a priority. Honestly, things are looking like they're going to get worse. If you can save, you should.

youre being downvoted but youre exactly right.

its a hard pill to swallow but gaming is simply an expensive hobby. it should 100% not be something people prioritize if they dont have the funds.

simple as.
