He goes into one of those dingy old PC stores that have walls crammed with dusty products that haven’t been sold in like 15-20 years and buys everything, even turns it into a bit of game with the owner where they roll a giant foam or play darts dice to see if he’s going to pay ridiculous prices for some of the products. Like many of these boxes are literally early 00’s tech that never moved and was just sitting there.
To be offended over that video is utterly ridiculous and it’s clearly all in good fun with the owner, who gets to avoid making a loss on stock he should’ve thrown out decades ago.
It may be my mode of thinking. To me it feels like a power move. The 1% tend to do things like this to flaunt their money, or to manipulate the world into showing people what this kind of power can do for them. It builds people up to aspirations that absolute wealth is a positive thing. Yet, people that are given this kind of money all the sudden, tend to spend it all and bankrupt themselves. There is also the fact that although tech is older, there is still a market for it, as capitalism tells us all we need the hip new thing, people just see it as garbage.
