Omit internet tropes.

Someone gives you sources disproving your claim and you respond by...quoting yourself calling the viewership of a video young?
Dishwashers aren't as evil as you think they are, I promise.
They are forced upon Americans in every way imaginable. They're bundled in with appliance sets sold to first time home buyers and preinstalled in every apartment.
You and the other comment are missing my point. It really doesn't matter at all how well they do or don't work. Dishwashers are a sales platform. The rest of the world doesn't have them.
They are neat in a way, but even TC himself admitted that the dishwasher is sort of a solution in search of a problem. His only endorsement was that they save water compared to the typical lazy bastard attempting to wash dishes by hand, and that it's a net good for that reason. I never disagreed with that. I said that TC counts as an influencer, and perhaps in the sneakiest way possible, given these replies.
Calling you all "naive" is really an understatement once the echo chamber begins reverberating. Jeez! Yes, you're part of it. I'm simply pointing it out. Yes, "citation needed" is a pseudointellectual crutch. No, you don't have to trust an influencer just because everyone else does.
