"Collectors" made buying a CRT impossible. Used to get these shits for free.
I have deertroon fatigue.
>>737598821Not just that but a good amount of CRT was simply abandoned and replaced with little to no real serious problems with them only to be actually ruined by simply used as props, things for kids to smash in the junk yard, letting them expose to mildew, rust from being in high moisture areas from basements with no actual care. We were going through CRT like breathing.
>>737598821You can easily get them for free in third world countries
The worst part is that these CRT collectors will have like 30 CRTs behind them collecting dust, and they have the gall to go >dood...finding a crt is like, super duper easy!It's not the early 2010s anymore. CRTs aren't being dumped en masse onto sidewalks for free. You have to literally stalk places to see if one pops up, and even electronics recycling dumps won't allow you to grab or even buy one off of them.
>>737598821you used to get them for free when people were just putting them on the curb for anyone to pick up before garbage day because they got an LCD and don't need that brick taking up space in their homes anymore.
>>737598821this is my favorite retro collector larp. you can literally still get crt's for free/dirt cheap. fuck off tourist
>>737600476Well, yeah, if you're brown and live in some disguusting shithole they are cheap and free. I am assuming you are because you fucking smell.

It's a disturbing phenomenon that it takes 20 years or less for a previously ubiquitous technology to become vilified by some and worshipped by others, missing the purpose entirely.Also see people getting into "retro PCs" but limiting themselves to msdos and Windows XP etc
>>737598821ive seen some for like $130 its not that bad, go to an electronics recycler and probably get one for $10
>>737598821That belongs in a museum
>>737599258Yeah and people made up the stupidest reasons to dump them>oh they're so HEAVYbitch why do you care? Are you carrying your monitor around?
>>737598963I've been seeing you spam that word / phrase in a bunch of different threads, what is a "deertroon"?
