Certainly in my country, people who don't know how to setup a computer still choose to buy one.
Maybe the boomer generation. I am a millenial running a pihole and subscribing to OTT. This is true of others in my generation and younger.
Well it's not shameful in that it requires ridicule. I just think it's a bit embarrassing for me personally that a lot of people don't bother learning tech stuff. It's similar to people declaring that they don't read books. In this day and age, being tech savvy is kind of required to navigate a lot of society.
I know that, you know that, the companies exploiting the ignorant and elderly know that. So there's no better cure than for the ignorant to learn.
Still sounds like you're blaming the people being taken advantage of because they don't know things you do.
