  Yeah, the title kind of contradicts itself.

    I was expecting something in the article to back it up, like sales figures, but I couldn’t find anything.

  I guess having a lot of unhappy customers implies that a lot of people previously purchased the product.

  Very possible they sold well if people didn’t know about the requirement to be online.

  I’m not sure there’s another term for “sold well” that doesn’t also imply people liked it.

  Alternatively they could just be calling them plebian.

    Pretty sure lots of things people are forced to use due to poor competition “sell well” while also being quite un-popular.
