> I disagree, "affordable" is newspeak for "you're able to afford it"

eeeh that's always been the meaning, what's newspeak about it ? What do you think the "afford" part of "affordable" is for ?

> I want something that's cheap!

That's ok, but then you probably don't want something that's "high quality" like the OP mentions, "cheap" is newspeak for "low quality"

Anyways, this is marketing 101



No. Affordable also means low quality, it just means low quality that costs more than it ought to.

Except, this is software, there's just about no correlation between charged price and quality.

I can sell you the same piece of software at different prices and it will be exactly the same quality.
