  All those products have one thing in common. It’s what we call gourmetization in my country, which is a concept I believe the people should be aware of globally. It’s basically the process of making you believe that the simple, cheap, realiable and lasting stuff you already have lacks something, and then marketing an “improved”, refined and more expensive version to you. This process goes hand-to-hand to what you call enshittification, often being a catalyst for it.

  We’re always evolving. We are at this very moment evolving to adapt to an environment full of microplastics, to eating ultraprocessed foods, to look at screens for most of the day, etc.

  It’s too bad that evolution has some sort of time delay and only makes the next generations more adapted to the current environment, instead of the future environment, so people won’t be adapted to a hotter climate, more intense climatic events, to deal with food and scarcity, more uv intensity, more conflicts, and so many other things until it’s too late.

  Just informing that this post contains irony and is mostly a joke

  At this point, if I ever need to buy a new tv, I’m looking for a dumb one, that just displays images from a source, and that’s it. Maybe I won’t even get a tv, but just use a big monitor attached to a raspberry pi or a tv box or similar.
