I think about this quite a bit.
Not this particular issue but the phenomenon in general.
I think it's mostly because the wider population has taken it up as something humorous. It used to be ours. By ours I mean the more 'hardcore' internet community; members of FP, SA, 4Chan, etc. We as a community created the characters and developed them. I still remember when the 'troll face' got given squiggly arms, and it was hilarious; a whole new branch of comic making surrounding the character was born. The humour came from a bunch of different sources; the absurdity of it all mostly, and also the irony of using childish text/bad grammar to talk about serious and intellectual topics.
But as happens with any popular thing it got taken up by people from outside our community. People who didn't [I]really[/I] understand the humour or the characters. And they started creating content that simply didn't fit with what we'd already established. Imagine if they stopped making The Simpsons and the rights got sold to a new company, who rebooted it with Bart as some emo hipster and Lisa as the popular girl at school - the original creators would be devastated.
The worst thing, in my opinion, is that 'rage faces' became institutionalised; web sites were set up that used these faces as mascots. T-shirts were printed and worn by everybody and their mum. These were our characters that we'd developed as a community being plastered all over the internet and on people's bodies by strangers who didn't even understand the basic elements of the characters!
I mean I'm no sociologist but that's how I see it. It's not that other people are enjoying what used to be 'only ours' - it's that they don't understand nor respect the original content we created, and as such their ruining it.

It sounds like he is talking about always being on power wise. Not internet wise.
[QUOTE=Dukov Traboski;40167093]It sounds like he is talking about always being on power wise. Not internet wise.[/QUOTE]
He's defending the notion of the nextbox being always online by comparing it to power usage of other products. "The vacuum cleaner doesn't work when the power goes out. Not buying a vacuum" was one of his posts.

I need to be careful with this.
[QUOTE=Dukov Traboski;40167093]It sounds like he is talking about always being on power wise. Not internet wise.[/QUOTE]
Every device is 'always on' basically has a different meaning, so what he's really saying if you get the reference is that "Every device is always connected to the internet", which is still kind of far from the truth. And he's trying to justify it by saying "Internet goes out? Electricity goes out too." which is kind of douchey and then he falls on insulting other people as a scapegoat.

Telling the consumer to "deal with it" is a great way to lose sales.
