• Ughh more disposable shit that capitalists are trying to peddle on us for a quick profit

    Why do news sites always eat this shit up? The cycle is the same:

    1. Announce a half baked idea but give it a fancy sounding name
    2. Demo something that seems vaguely cool and hype it up enormously, especially in how it is useful for daily life or can replace a daily tool you use 2.5 collect a ton of money from venture capital daddies
    3. Produce a whole bunch of it as cheaply as possible
    4. Hype it up as much as possible so you get a customer base before it comes out
    5. Release it, make $$$
    6. Close up shop within two years because people will realize it’s just a scam, isn’t revolutionary, and won’t do anything useful for them.
    7. Most of the sold devices end up in the ocean within 2 years
