Re: Hogan's article - The DSLR cash cow is alive for how long?
Hogan's agenda is to promote sales of new gear, just like all gear review sites do: they want people to go and buy all new lenses and cameras and to dump their old gear. Please do it with the affiliate link below: advertiser clicks = money. That's what these people do for a living: do everything that they can to make people feel unhappy with the gear they already have, to push people to dump what they have and buy new stuff. And they make it seem like they believed they are acting in the best interest of everyone. They're not.
That's what all this is about, it's not about the superiority of one technology over another but forcing (usually unnecessary) purchases to take place so that money can change hands.
Instead, people should be encouraged to learn skills and use everything they already have without buying new gear unless absolutely necessary. This way there would be less environmental waste and less pollution and people could live healthier lives - and rather than blame the equipment, learn skills that allow them to produce better results with what already exists.
But no, all that matters to these people is that new gear must be purchased (if possible, whole new systems rather than individual items) or bells should be ringing in alarm.

As far as I am concerned, and from the perspective of this planet's environment, I would consider this kind of behavior near criminal. People should be encouraged to learn skills and use everything they already have without buying new gear unless absolutely necessary.
