alt Hacker NewsGenuinely cannot afford is different than can't afford.
Genuinely cannot afford means you don't have the $15 to buy the movie after paying for necessities.
Cannot afford tends to mean "I bought a 72" OLED last week so no way I'm spending another $1400 on a movie collection".
How many people can afford to pay cash for a 72" OLED?
If you have to use credit to "afford" such things, then you can't actually afford them
