What about Elitism?

Does Elitism not sell?

Be different. Be a non-conformist, just dress in black, be all poetic and sad like and do exactly like we do and not conform to what others expect you to.

Herd effects are lame, but they don't sell. What everyone is, isn't cool. What ever is a small group, coming up with new ideas is cool. When everyone joins up, that group is no longer cool. Linux becoming a business and popular isn't cool. FreeBSD is cool. Microsoft is the anti-cool. Apple was cool, but is losing their cool as they become mainstream.

Do you not see these same effects?
