Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap (www.businessinsider.com)

Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

Yep, my entire post was about was about TimewornTraveler and no one else. Its definitely all your fault. Pay no attention to the fact that I said 'for believing tech bros' which would exclude anyone who didn't believe tech bros from the statement, Instead just get upset about nothing.

You can see the absurdity of my statement but not of yours.... odd

You literally ignored half of the sentence you have a problem with so you could be contrarian. Odd.

I dont know why I'm still responding to this tedious, disingenuous bullshit but here goes.... You made a statement: "It's your fault." Ambiguous "your", fine, I'll happily challenge that. Then you gave a supporting statement: "Tech bros only want money." Cool. I agree with the latter part. But you are using it to support a conclusion that I don't agree with. Hence I attacked the fucking conclusion instead of the supporting details.

Do you understand now?

Instead of blaming the people who use these services - and make blanket statements as if we are all using those services - how about you either A) stick to criticizing the bad actors or B) shut the fuck up.

Okay? Thanks. Talk to you later.

maybe don't make such a general blanket statement that anyone could take offense from, next time maybe? maybe don't blame anyone for corporate greed except the corporates who are greeding instead of getting upset about nothing

The 'general statement' had a very specific qualifier that the op ignored in order to make himself upset. It had nothing to do with generality and everything to do with ignoring half a sentence so someone could make themselves mad.
