I appreciate the self deprecating humor. The video's author is not only poking fun at manufacturers and wealthy consumers, but to a certain degree, the youtube influencer (like himself) who peddle the stuff.
It's true across the audiophile industry that many manufacturers justify the MSRP charged by making the component larger and visually impressive… this, to a level of absurdity. I get the semiotics at play, but for me, their approach achieves the opposite.
