Are there other hobbyists that literally go out of their way to shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get? It's legit baffling.

Yes. They're equally as fucking stupid as every other consumer. You find dipshit consumers in literally every market. Just look at "audiophiles" and all the money they keep wasting on their bullshit, even though it's been proven time and time again that they can't actually hear the difference between $300 "Monster Cables" and a fucking wire coat hanger
Audiophiles aren't the ones buying monster cables, those are marketed to people with more money than sense.
Agreed. Monster cables are solid low hanging fruit for examples of dumb consumers but I'd object to a characterization of them as a staple of audiophiles or proof that audiophiles are completely full of shit.
I'd be curious to see a study about whether audiophiles can actually get anything out of the more expensive headphones and/or where the diminishing returns actually start but even most audiophiles I know realize that monster cables are dumb.
So, audiophiles
Calling those people audiophiles is like calling Leinenkugel fans "craft beer nerds"
Again, yes, correct
Only loser nerds identify as audiophiles and nobody over the age of 30 can stand craft beer nerds
