alt Hacker News>people who don't know anything about microcontrollers are not going to look online for Chinese Arduino clones.
But high chance they will look it up on Amazon/Ebay/whatever e-store and buy a clone without knowing.

This has 100% been my experience, even with in-person shopping.
You ask for an Arduino, and the follow up question is: 'genuine or generic?'.
I don't think the Arduino trademark is that valuable, it's already well underway genericization.
