I'm with you. I used to love being in on the bleeding edge of technology. Now it just disappoints me. Enshittifcation is the norm. Instead of "how can we make this game more fun," it's all about "how can we wring more profit out of this," and gathering personal data for marketing is a favorite method. I never thought I'd become a Luddite, but here I am.

    I don't want to come off as some sort of luddite, but tech is starting to become dreadful rather than exciting. It's less "what cool things can we do" and more "how can govs and corpos surveil, control, and extract more money from everyone."

    It's difficult to pin an exact time, but (aside from medical advances) I would say that technology peaked about 10 years ago in terms of advancements still representing a benefit to the average person. "Advancements" since then have been getting increasingly detrimental.
