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.

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.
