The maximum price that I’m willing to pay for a brand new Xbox x (or whatever it’s called this week) is $150 and only if it comes with a blu-ray reader and two wireless controllers

When did the iPhone X come out?
And what was even crazier was when spyware bundled Android phones started costing iPhone price but having less power and people paid that. I’d say that was worse. You’re still paying that big price tag but you’re saying performance doesn’t matter and you’re willing to pay even more with your personal data.
“Oh but it’s open source.” Isn’t UNIX? UNIX and Linux are open source. iOS and Pixel Android aren’t but they’re based on open source projects. They’re the same in that regard. But one was built to suck up your personal data for Google to sell to the highest bidder. The other has failed AI and a broken keyboard. Pick your poison. But don’t dump on people for choosing privacy over flashy AI or for choosing a computer company over an advertising company.

Are you trying to say people will pay what they believe is a fair price for a product?

No, they’re saying people will pay whatever for one-of-the-kind Big Tech products.

Money has utterly ruined our society at a fundamental level. I hate money so much.
