@primitivedaisy I keep clicking on the X - don;t recommend shorts, and then they are gone for 30 days, but youtube keeps trying it so every 30 days I click X again. I almost only watch youtubers that regularly make 30 minutes to 2 hour long videos

@beejls it was always like that, but the rich could afford better stuff (like tailored clothes) When people think that in the past everything was better they only look at what the elite had in the past, not how life for the ordinary workers was. they didn't have nice, good quality things, maybe they made them, but they made them for the rich. The biggest difference is that now the low quality stuff is made in Asia, on a larger scale for the whole world, and in the past it was made locally , for local markets

@MauroPanigada only advantage? you forgot a few more -easier to produce -cheaper to produce -less energy , better for the planet - can't be destroyed by fire or other environmental effects. i still prefer paper books myself, I don;t even have an e-reader, but let's not give a false representation of ebooks

@beejls yes, 40 years ago was when wealth and income gap between high and lower incomes was much smaller than nowadays, it was probably the smallest in history around 1970-1980, so slightly more than 40 years ago . In 1984 it would still be ok. But both in 1924 and in 2024 its much wider

@ronhutcherson9845 good grief, just get an old PC with dvd player from the recycle station, a thrift store or from somebody's attic and you are done.

@ben_tyreman yeah, that is fine today, but that doesn't work for teens that want the latest album from their favourite bands. and in the 80s CD's were not cheaper here in europe. they soid CD's as an upgrade to LPs 'never wears down, you can play it 10,000 times! can't be scratched! crystal clear sound' etc etc' and asked even higher prices the first years, and a few years later the same prices. Only from around the mid 90s they got considerably cheaper , but mostly for artists' back catalogues and not for the new Bon Jovi or Michael Jackson album which would always be full price.
