"gatekeeping"

Published on 2025/03/08 | Revised on 2025-03-14

One day I decided to see what the 'online keyboard crowd' was up to, I hadn't looked at anything non-ergonomic keyboard related in years, as was usual the same-old, geeking out over switches 'n keycaps.

Until, I realised a disturbing trend a lot of them had committed 'hit-and-run' videos on ergonomic keyboards.

I call it hit-and-run because that's what it felt like to me, the land of ergonomic keyboards was a tourist destination, just a pitstop to rack up a lot of curious viewers,

And all their uploads after this were all back to the same-old switch reviews,

I'm not pro or anti gatekeeping, I have no feelings towards it but I understand it better now
