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 your fault for believing the promises of a salesman. Tech bros are just industrial middlemen who pedel new technological solutions for problems that may or may not benefit from it, but that doesn't matter to them, they're just here to sell the tech. Thats how they get paid.

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.
