Idk why these articles keep saying things are happening quietly, like no one is noticing, trust me, everyone is noticing.
It’s the new meta.
We stopped clicking “Could X be Y?” and “you won’t believe X” formats.
Now they have a new one: it’s all vaguely a conspiracy and they’re coming for YOU! You’re just not paying enough attention!
That’s all to say people are fucking stupid and online media is exploitative as fuck.
Ahh yeah that’s a good point, it’s the perfect strategy for these times too, I guess. Plus it probably makes people feel smart, “oh I noticed that, no one else did? Morons.”
Because these articles aren’t written for those who notice things (it is very frustrating)
Well shit maybe I haven’t noticed that people aren’t actually noticing.
People are definitely waking up though, in the sense that the oligarchal media is increasingly unable to deny reality, so people who don’t pay attention are starting to finally get it through
(So there’s room for hope in a sense?)

The RAM crisis is not an example of shrinkflation
The RAM situation is causing shrinkflaition. The article describes situations where new models will have less RAM than old ones but also cost more.
Why the fuck would they use one of the best computer makers as the main example for this?
Framework?
Because that’s a good example of where you can see things getting more expensive, especially because Framework is modular so the price is very transparent.
Didn’t sound to me untrue, or even critical. It’s just the market right now.
