I've got two off the top of my head:
First is that the design of the USB drives needing to be oriented up or down was the result of a minor cost cutting choice. The inventor regrets it because it wouldn't been easy made so that USB drives were reversible.
Second is the abundance of pointless SEO stuff on recipe pages. It would be a cool opportunity for the creator to add a personal touch to the recipe page beneath the recipe, but they pop in first along with ads and suggested links. And they're so frustrating to navigate that they had to incorporate a 'jump to recipe' button.
Not really "little" in the grand scheme, but de-industrialization which has led to people becoming "influencers" and making all their content around themselves instead of their contributions to the world. Be it LetsPlays or whatever else, far too many people are in the way of the actual interesting happenings they're engaging in, because to stay competitive means to be ever increasingly obnoxious and hysterical. The entertainment/attention industry basically dominates Western discourse these days. Tougher to find good amateur content, unless you really know where to look.
This applies to so many things under capitalism.Like music; large venues, and insane ticket prices, and reasons I don't understand have driven out/under the small bar / local band places near me
MrBeast is the flesh embodiment of this
Oh, absolutely. I've actually said the exact same thing when talking to people about the trend of modern influencer celebrity types. An endless and ever escalating glorification, flaunting and worship of wealth that's caught millions of desperate people in a cult-like flytrap. Just watch, it'll continue decaying over time and we'll all eventually move onto a post-glamour society, though I won't hold my breath since it's gonna be a while.
Edit: That bubble can't grow forever. Sooner or later it'll pop just like every other bubble under capitalism.
It's alien and alienating to me, the entire "influencer" thing. I wouldn't want to hang out with such obnoxious wealth-flaunting assholes in the offline world, so I don't get why so many people want to pretend to be their online friend and throw them money.
He is SEO face incarnate and his personal brand is so slippery and slimy that even here on Hexbear I've seen people make excuses for his creepy grifty bullshit because it superficially seems harmless at a surface glance if you don't peel back all the layers of the onion.
