Not just websites and online services but games, stores, restaurants, etc are they? Have you noticed significant quality reduction with nearly matching price increases?

    Yup I have. However, in a weird way I’m becoming more grateful for what I have, and my family/friends. I did realize I had become very dependent on new media and new things, and this is surprisingly making me a bit less materialistic.

    Movies are shittier, so why am I spending money on them. New games are shittier, why am I paying day one prices? I can wait a few months for the new graphics card when it’s cheaper, or any hardware. It’s funny, I’m actually paying less now than I ever have, my budgets are low, and it’s all thanks to them being so greedy and demanding.

      I’m in a similar state but I thought I was just getting old. But with age comes greater ability to not give a fuck so maybe it’s a little of column A, a little of column B.
