Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize? (lemmy.world)

like I went to taco bell and they didn't even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don't get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

We're slowly hemorrhaging users. Pretty much all of us upvoted it.

POST HARDER!

(I've been posting hard for a while. It gets a bit dispiriting tbh)

I'd love to see a rise in quality OC. Migrating and reposting content isn't always the answer.

Other platforms have an undeniable wealth of knowledge and a history that's over a decade long.

That doesn't mean we can't make something great out of this. I just know that I'm not the best content producer.
