Because people expect to pay the same price they’ve been paying for twenty / thirty years with no drop in quality?

No. It appears that you didn't watch the video. It's being done purposely by the manufacturers.

Exact kind of troll, low-quality comment that poisons most of this website. As is the reply by FuglyDuck.

I have the exact same frustration. Reddit has been a complete mess for years. Unfortunately, Lemmy is only slightly better, and still seems to be astroturfed and filled with overconfident, unintelligent people who spread misinformation. I shared the link above on one of the /c/reddit lemmy communities and it was heavily astroturfed and then deleted by a mod for a ridiculous reason.

I posted in various other communities about a completely different topic and the only intelligent response I received was a PM.

I've blocked close to a hundred "fluff" (low-quality) communities on Lemmy, so my feed is highly curated. But the fluff/low-quality communities vastly outnumber the high-quality ones. One of the problems may simply be that intelligent people are rare, and are not spending their time on sites like Lemmy.

People keep making threads about this, and speculating that Lemmy might be astroturfed by people who don't want to see it succeed. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a viable solution. You would need extremely competent and active moderators, or we have to wait until AI becomes advanced enough to neutrally and accurately moderate.

This is one reason I opted to move my Reddit communities to a forum instead of Lemmy. The problem with that is small forums don't show up on search engines. Some forum software teams are joining the fediverse though, so that should help. But not all forums have intelligent people either, so it's definitely a struggle to find these days.

When I researched and tested some, I found the Presonus Eris E3.5 to be the best bang for the buck. The other close one was Mackie CR3, but the Presonus is better.

How about a basic Squarespace business website?

I looked at a bunch of options before and Wordpress seemed like one of the most promising: https://lemmy.world/post/12989654

I found Tuta to be lacking.

I'm sure that will completely repair all of their severe biological defects.

Thanks! Yes, I did find that interesting. I believe personality disorders stem from the gut microbiome. Here’s an example of someone curing theirs with FMT:

I got an intelligent response via PM:

I’ve decided to DM you because you’re already getting downvoted to hell because people don’t like eugenics. I’d like to be able to have a real conversation and speak my mind without getting dogpiled.

I’d first like to applaud you for seeing the problems of our society as an issue of allowing the wrong people to have power, rather than not being convincing enough with our words to change the minds of those who hold power. Most people completely fail to recognize that.

Some smart people may be corrupt or sociopathic, so this test should be a full psychological evaluation.

I find it really interesting how you describe a person as being corrupt, as if it is a property of their being, rather than a result of circumstance or just some poor choices that they made.

There is a movement that you may or may not have heard of right now that is highly relevant. It is sometimes called the ‘narcissism awareness’ movement. It sprang out of the #meetoo movement when some psychologists recognized that the abusive behaviors that women were complaining about corresponded exactly to those behaviors associated with cluster B personality disorders. One of the things that we are starting to realize, as a result of this movement and also as a result of of the recent (last 5-7 years or so) research on cluster B disorders, is just how common this type of personality disorder actually is. (My current estimate is that it is somewhere in the ballpark of 60-70% of the population in the US, and probably we only see a variance of about 20% on top of that from country to country).

I say this, because I think that the pandemic of personality disorder is actually the root cause of pretty much everything that is going wrong with the world today, and probably is the primary driver of all strife that has ever existed within the context of civilization. They also cause harm to everyone around them through psychological abuse, and they cannot be effectively treated or cured.

I would refer you to the excellent Dr. Ramani Durvasula for general information on the topic. She has books too, if you’re interested, but they have basically the same info as can be found on her youtube channel.

The focus of most psychologists talking about this issue is in interpersonal relationships, and helping abuse survivors heal from the trauma. Unfortunately, I do not currently know of anyone speaking more broadly about the impact of personality disorder on an organizational or societal scale. I have been constructing my own models based on my own collection of information, combining math, (neuro-)psychology, and anthropology, but I have thus far been unable to write up anything comprehensive on the topic.

There are many more things that I could say, but I will leave it at this for now. If you found this interesting or have any questions, please send a reply!
