I did not watch the video.
But the message from title(video title is worse) sounds like common defeatist attitude. Ive personal issues with people who just promote defeat and have negative effect.
I've two kindles 12+ 6+ years old and 1 kobo 2+ years. Neither have been connected to internet apart frok initial setup.
It's obvious to not promote consumerism by buying unnecessarily but stll a good reminder.
