Sadly, for many there is no scratch in their wallet after food, generic medicines, housing, medical expenses, etc. Nothing else is a factor.
My post was not a troll or a personal attack in any way. It was a response to your post, which was neither a troll or a personal attack either.
One member posting here has claimed he/she is retired and in his/her 50's. If one can retire at that age I suspect they are doing OK financially. So I guess claiming poverty wouldn't work for them, no?
Yes.
I never expected to live past 50. Therefore, poor economic planning.
Now you are getting into personal attacks.
You have no idea of other's situations, so don't go there.
I mentioned no names therefore it is not personal. And yes, I do know their situation because they said it.
Price is something that you shouldn't be bothered with. It's all about if you can afford it or not. In case you can, authentic is always way to go, in case you can't, clone will work for the most part. Bad thing with clones is the fact they are not so precise made like authentics and it's always a lottery getting one that will work flawless.
I'm trying to buy authentic when ever i can, but when i find a piece of equipment interesting and the price is way to high for me (like Nextgen or Nextiny, both unavailable in stores and both heavy overpriced on some auction sites) i'll go with clone with no regret at all. Manufacturers should be aware that not all of us are able to unload couple hundreds of dollars to buy their genuine piece, and therefore even if they are raging on people buying clones i can only say to them "lower the price or make it more available and i'll buy it for sure".
That's my 5 cents...

I can't afford a lot of things. Doesn't make it right for others to horn in on their action.
Or off-brand foods.
My can of green beans doesn't need to say Green Giant.
Of course, if it does say Green Giant, I do expect it to be from B&G Foods North America, Inc.
I wish the copiers of vape gear would not put the original's logo on their fine products.
Generic drugs are allowed once the developer's protections have run out. And I'm all for that. The developer should not have eternal protection rights for products such as this. But they should have protection to cover their R&D costs and make a profit. It is in the public's interest.
Most copies are machined just as well as the originals. And many originals have design and manufacturing flaws. And the materials are the same, often from the same sources.
