Remember when companies made money by building good products people wanted to buy and own? Those days feel gone.Everything is a subscription now, even hardware we already paid for. Every store pushes financing, sometimes offering better deals to borrowers because debt is more profitable than cash.We’re the product. Smart TVs, vacuums, and thermostats collect data about our homes, habits, and routines, turning our privacy into a revenue stream.Investing increasingly resembles gambling, with hype, meme stocks, crypto, and speculation replacing fundamentals. Entertainment is flooded with grifters selling overpriced courses that teach you how to sell overpriced courses.Meanwhile, we pay more for products that are less reliable, less private, and deliberately harder to own outright. Companies keep stripping away alternatives until finding a simple, well-made product without subscriptions, surveillance, or hidden fees feels impossible.We deserve better than paying a premium to be exploited.What's the last thing you bought that you felt you had no choice but to pay for, even though you resented every dollar of it?

>>544680457I think the word is retarded but this whole thread can be summed up in: enshittification
everything is a SNEED now

>>544680457>Investing increasingly resembles gambling, with hype, meme stocks, crypto, and speculation replacing fundamentals.That's because most people don't have enough money to build anything meaningful from investing in the fundamentals.
>>544680457I am so desperately, recklessly attracted to that woman
>>544686842Also the answer to your question is car insurance. Yet everyone is so absolutely scared horrified out of their mind at not forcing everyone to buy it, even though the person most likely to hit you is vastly, overwhelmingly likely to not even be insured anyway. Forced purchases are worse than taxation. They reek of grift and corruption.
>>544680457this is because jesus is a false god who rapes children and sucks off evil and rewards them
>>544680457I'd love to blame boomers for this but for some insane unfathomable reason it's everyone who keeps paying these scammers who are incentivizing this scam economics model.The most insane example I think isn't just most US tech companies but Spotify. Who in their right mind thinks>yeah fuck it I'll pay this social media advertizing company instead of MUSICIANS for my music and nothing will possibly go wrongbut it's just the tip of the iceberg really, destroying music barely even registers on our radars nowAnyway this is why I'm intentionally restricting every eurodollar I spend so that it doesn't or the least of it goes to these scam companies. If your product is legit and you're not scamming, great, otherwise, I will boycott you until I'm six feet under.
