" I refuse to pay for something that I was tell would be devoid with my 30k(ish ) car purchase . "
When something first comes out, it may take the world by storm — but sometimes, a particular thing becomes so popular that it ruins it for everyone on Earth. So when Reddit userShittalkyCapsasked: “What became so popular it ended up being ruined for everyone?” a good number of people shared their brutually honest thoughts. Here’s what they said below:
1.“Thrifting. It used to be a cheap way to find quality items. Now, thanks to resellers, thrift stores are charging damned near close to retail prices.”
2.“Subscriptions. Companies weaponized them and put them into appliances and other places where they have no business existing. They’re obviously not popular with customers, but manufacturers seem to love them.”

" buy my first new machine , a Mazda , in January 2020 . When I was at the dealership , they propped up the companion app that allowed me to remote startle my railroad car , unlock the machine , pick up unlocked - door notifications , etc . , all from my phone . It was a terrific little benefactor when I require it , but a couple of year ago , they announced the app was going to be subscription - ground starting last year . I refuse to pay for something that I was told would be FREE with my $ 30k(ish ) railway car leverage . "

3.“Cheap cuts of meat, like chicken wings and skirt steak. Now, they’re too expensive for cheap meals.”
4.“I’ve been online since the early 1990s. The internet peaked around 2002. Then EVERYONE got on it via social media, and ruined it.”

" The ' do n’t believe everything you read on the internet ' people now divvy up the dumbest easily debunk Irish bull on their Facebook and get really upset and dig their hound in when someone does n’t believe them , lmao . "

5.“Most popular tourist destinations.”
6.“Streaming. Over saturated and all streamers have become these obnoxious, entitled people who do nothing but clip farm and try and get their viewers to see them as gods that can do no wrong.”

" Could say the same affair about George R.R. Martin , all that HBO money flowing in made him go , ' Naw , I do n’t need to finish the books . ' "

9.“Airbnb. I used to get a room and stay with a nice family that would talk, tell me about the local area, and often invite me to join them for meals. Now, it’s often just a house owned by some distant investor with a bunch of rooms rented out to random people. Also, getting a place for myself is usually way expensive when you include all the BS fees.”
10.“Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. Trying to buy or sell something now means you have to wade through tons of scammers, flakes, and lowballers. Almost every vehicle is a reconditioned title and a scam. And then, the people who always ask, ‘Is this available?’ and then never say anything after.”

" I ’ve been experiencing this for the first time , it ’s actually shocking me . I ’ve been trying to betray the same pair of shoes for a good two weeks , actually a calendar month at this spot , and the issue of ' this available ' messages that I never get a reply back from when I answer is harebrained !

11.“Pokémon cards/packs. In-store stock at places like Walmart is basically nonexistent. Prices to buy products from obvious scalpers are like two to three times the normal cost of products in some cases. Even the Pokémon Center website is typically cleaned out almost immediately after restocking.”
12.“Star Wars. I love so much of what they’ve done over the years, but the fanbase is just utterly intolerable.”
— PolyThrowaway524
" No one hatesStar Warslike die - hardStar Warsfans . It ’s really a swearing of anything with a fandom .
mass will total with their own ideas for movies , such as the continuation trilogy . One of two affair can happen :
It ’s like enough to their ideas that they complain it ’s ' too predictable . '
Or it ’s unlike , so they complain that it ’s not what they expected from the serial publication .
As a disavowal , I was disappoint in the sequel trilogy just because the tempo seemed off and disjointed from pic to movie , but I still savour the experience . "

13.“Online shopping. Some of you may remember, most won’t, but you used to not have to pay sales tax (or rather, it was on an honor system) when you bought stuff online. Amazon had no sales tax.”
14.“Disability services at Disney. Back in the day, Disney realized that disabled people couldn’t stand in their long lines, making them use a wheelchair when they didn’t need one was kinda overkill, so they created theDAS accommodation. It lets people check in, go sit and wait for their time to ride, and then come up to the line and go up the fast line. It got so valuable that some disabled people started a service where they’d bring a whole family who paid them through the park, and everyone would ride the same way. It was also based on the honor system; you told the service people what disability you had and what accommodations you needed. You and a friend or family member got through rather easily.”
" Now , it ’s cover by a 3rd company who spurn like 90 % of applicant , but do n’t concern , the Lightning Lanes were premise at precisely the same fourth dimension , surely just a concurrence . at any rate , just pay off $ 20 a person to ride this one ride faster than everyone else . "
