Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. Namely video streaming, ride-hailing, and cloud computing.

    It surprises me a lot how many people use these services. Like, you’re such a gullible dummy. TV? Pirate. Music? Newpipe and Bandcamp. Taxi? Random taxi company’s web API or just call. Podcasts? Patreon and Black wolf feeds.

    Like, I don’t know how people end up paying so much for any of this shit. Even if I was a millionaire I wouldn’t change because life’s so easy. Why complicate things with a gazillion subscriptions and apps I don’t want on my phone.
