If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

This hobby is not a need. It is an inspirational(albeit that some take to seriously) hobby for sure. And reading about good sound is inspirational to me.
I think of good art(it can be very expensive). We don’t need it but it can be most inspirational in difficult times.
I think I see where Erik is coming from and appreciate there are more important things to attend to. I also think because of that we need more inspiration. A nice word salad on audio gear sounds good to me in these times.
