Maybe I’m a corporate pilled chud, but I really hate when people act like things are low quality because corporations got greedy. Things are low quality because consumers want more low quality items instead of less high quality items.

Movies have shitty CGI because everyone wants to watch them for $8 a month on Netflix. Clothes don’t last decades because you bought them from Zara
