Reddit sucks. The whole UI is awful.
Prime with ads. Netflix with its annoying location lock.
Buying anything sucks because it’s all doubled in price.
It just seems like everything sucks now. Except maybe CP. it’s about how it always has been.

For tech we lived in a world subsidized by venture capital and the promise of future profitability. We didn’t pay the actual cost for anything. The change in interest rates made this approach much more expensive and several of the area reached the end of their growth phase and the start of their profit phase.
But in general we were heavily subsidized by emerging tech.
