Customer acquisition is a significant portion of starting a business. You have to make a new market and/or get customers from your competitor. If your competitor is charging more money for their product, they can afford to spend more on advertising to let people know they exist.
I don't have much karma on HN yet, but I don't see any reason for down voting my comment. Can someone explain to me why my comment is considered "not useful" or stupid ? am I doing something wrong by expressing my opinion in a genuine way I can ?
I could see your first comment getting downvoted, since it was short, negative, and incorrect.
Your next comment (and this one), no. You're absolutely right that you shouldn't have been downvoted. You're still arguing against a whole lot of existence disproof, but you make your point well and offer some constructive commentary and alternative ideas.
Stick around. You're providing more value here than whoever it was that went off on you with the downvote button.

If you stop by on Thursday afternoon, you can join us for lunch and a game of Catch Phrase. Or, come after work and challenge someone to Mario Kart or Smash. Or, stop by any other time and we’ll still be happy to show you around.
