If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

Crisis? What crisis? The worst is over. It’s all downhill from here, gentle readers. That’s data speak. Things are going to be opening up soon. They’re already opening up as we speak. Rejoice! Now go out there and spread some of that cash around! Open up your wallets! Revel in your time. 🤗
Nice whining. Did you want them to limit their reviews to equipment available in Walmart?
I get the point you're trying to make but what's people's problem with Walmart....
No-one I know or even heard of in NYC area is going to support this opening-up criminal madness. And most of those people do have some funds to spare. Not on this audio nonsense, of course. They are renting and buying real estate in more civilized and advanced countries or at least areas in the US. Look at Hawaii and Vermont, look at Israel and Baltic states. 
Yes, it's downhill from here. Good luck with your stereo purchases, anyway.
