I can’t really watch that whole thing at the moment, is that really the TL:DR of what he is saying? That he took what “The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles” did in 2005 and changed the background from plain white and took pics of not-randonneur bikes and therefore his style is inimitable?

Freud was a whack-a-doodle product of his time, but he nailed this aspect of tribalism.

In psychoanalysis, the narcissism of small differences (German: der Narzissmus der kleinen Differenzen ) is the idea that when people in a relationship or community have a lot in common, they can actually be more likely to fight with each other and mock each other, because they become overly sensitive to small differences they notice in one another and treat those differences as bigger than they are.[[1]]

The fine art world, which Prolly thinks he belongs to, would have a field day with this - that is, if this space mattered.
