Do you understand you're an outlier?

You're a small but vocal minority.

Just like people who don't own TVs, people who don't listen to pop music, watch reality TV, indulge in celebrity gossip etc.

You're an outlier - understand and accept that the vast majority of people are not like you.

Is there a particular conclusion you want them to draw from being in a minority?

The conclusion is, that if you want to make money, you probably don't want to think of yourself as a customer, especially if you're such an outlier.

You want to think about what 'normal' people do, and like. Because there's a hell of a lot more of them.

Of course you can have success with a niche product catering to minorities, but it's a lot easier to just make something most people want.
