Why is this so aggressively downvoted?

are we wage cucking any less?

Ugh yes, finally. More time to doom scroll the feeds, numb to the real world. I just need enough dopamine to keep swiping.

That one seems pretty largely on you.

Poe’s Law in effect in this thread. This is clearly satire.

I thought it was a good read - people don’t think about the value in some of the things we’ve lost in the name of efficiency. It’s like a corner store where you know the employees and see your neighbors versus a big box store with lower prices.

The example you mention is actually in the essay itself. But yes, it would be nice if the technology companies could work on a way to automate the stuff we don't enjoy doing instead of the stuff that brings meaning into our lives.

Oh yeah, I guess it was, huh 😅

This is worthy of the onion. I cant tell if this whole article is sarcasm or if the author really thinks this.

cybersandwich ,

Hahaha he’s almost too subtle with his sarcasm but I’m 99% sure he’s, as the Brits say, taking the piss.

Is this the onion?

Edit: Came back after reading the article to say this pisses me off. Some of us ENJOYED browsing Blockbuster because it was something to actually do rather than wearing a groove into my  TV touchpad as I lay semi-conscious in bed. They besmirch staff picks without acknowledging that those people at least spent time to cultivate an opinion rather than mash buttons on rotten tomatoes because they don’t like what they heard about Cuties on Fox.

I love technology, but this writer is an idiot.

    Assuming you’re the real Justin Hanagan, I ask you this: do you honestly think Rotten Tomato reviews are an adequate replacement for staff picks and human curated collections?

    If so, a pox on your house, sir.

    Emotional anguish? Bro, you’re putting way too much energy into my Lemmy comment. Honestly, my original post was sort of a joke, but now I think you might just be a douche.

    cybersandwich ,

    In that case you definitely have more in common with the writer than you think.

    ratman150 ,

    Ah yes to focus on my full time job…in IT…Who exactly is free from these toils?
