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.

it's MY fault that there are fewer cabs because other mother fuckers stopped using them?

    Yep, my entire post was about was about TimewornTraveler and no one else. Its definitely all your fault. Pay no attention to the fact that I said 'for believing tech bros' which would exclude anyone who didn't believe tech bros from the statement, Instead just get upset about nothing.

    maybe don't make such a general blanket statement that anyone could take offense from, next time maybe? maybe don't blame anyone for corporate greed except the corporates who are greeding instead of getting upset about nothing

    The 'general statement' had a very specific qualifier that the op ignored in order to make himself upset. It had nothing to do with generality and everything to do with ignoring half a sentence so someone could make themselves mad.

    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' [sic] fault." 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? Or did you always understand but you can't take accountability for making a shitty statement and instead you harp on meaningless bullshit?

    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.

    And yet you still omit the very same words you omitted from the beginning. I get it though, you have no arguement if you acknowledge it was in the very same sentence qualifying my statement you wanna be mad at, keep digging friend. How many times are you gonna ignore it? Also how are you gonna use quotes if you don't copy the actual sentence and just put your own period in it before my real sentence ended? You as good at citing things as you are at logic.
