Why Apple's Community Will Stay The Same Even With More People
Apple has wonderful community don't they? People like DRBUK, thecreativeone, Mrbit10, Jon4lakers, and many more who contribute to the Apple community by writing or vlogging about it, providing us with news and updates.
There are many who believe that this community will plunder as Apple's market-share grows, and more users come into the picture to join the community and eventually take it down with uneducated groups etc...
I used to believe this for a while, but after thinking about, the community will stay the same, even with more Mac users coming. Why? Because many of the people who buy Macs today don't really want to have anything to do with that community, all they want to do is use their Mac productively for whatever they want to do, who cares about the community, they have better things to do. Taking this into effect, all of us bloggers and vloggers will be able to reside in our community and continue to contribute to it.

I absolutely agree with you. All my friends recieved Macs as graduation presents. Ive been in the Apple community since I discovered Dave in his "why the Apple hate?" video. I didn't own a Mac until last week yet I was so involved. I subscribed to David, Adiblasi, DRBUK, Jon4lakers and all the others like that. I made a twitter to follow them and even got accepted to the writers blog. My friends would never be involved in these kind of things, yet they own Macs. So this goes to show that even though they own Macs, it doesnt mean they are involved in our little Mac community one bit.
Yes, It's quite interesting isn't it? I suppose it's good for us that we get to stay in our own bubble, but I do feel bad for the people with Macs who aren't part of the community. I suppose this may be a situation where "The More the Merrier" doesn't exactly come into the picture as much as we would expect it to.
Also, thank you for you're kind comment Sally.
