To be completely honest, I am a little annoyed about all the people bringing up price.

Well I'm so sorry you're offended (not really), but price is relevent when you're comparing products.

If I was looking at a comparison between two watches and the reviewer brings up price, I'd consider that relevant information.

saying that the price being free adds to the word "massive" being used aptly is just kinda dumb for real.

Again, you're just so wrong.

If product A is better than product B, that's bad enough. If product A also happens to be free while product B costs over $100, then that's extremely notable and should be brought up in a comparison.

Maybe it's your line of thinking that's just kinda dumb for real?

It's just like people don't want to converse man.

You're such a victim. Oh wait, it's you that started being hostile and dismissive. You're the one who doesn't want to have a respectful discussion.

When you talk like that, you shouldn't expect people to treat you nicely in return. People are under no obligation to treat you nicely after you treat them poorly.
