I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

They want to rely on people's ignorance so that I start looking like a lunatic, and unreliable for 5 years worth of documentation I have on the shenanigans of "security" cultists in FOSS/privacy community.

Well, you're doing an admirable job at making it look like that.

Surely not if anyone can look at my comment history from the past month and a half, with a weird downvote pattern. But go on, whatever makes you look cool hipster (with 2 digit IQ) on the internet.

Your last sentence isn't helping you any.

EDIT: Making it explicit; making derogatory remarks towards others does not make people seem less like a lunatic. And claiming that a group of people are downvoting you to make you look like a lunatic is itself more likely to make you look like a lunatic than if the group actually were downvoting you.
