so initially it was just couchsurfing/hospitality but worse (no culture sharing aspect + it costs money)?
Damn, after reading your comment I thought airBnB came after the enshittification of couch surfing but no, they co-existed and society chose the one with money instead of culture sharing + local volunteer vetting + free accomodation.
We suck :p
What I understood: Whenever we get a new tech, it makes our life easier (fact) but then the society expects more from us because “hey! now your life is easier, you have the time no?”.
edit: I had more to say I apparently.
in the scope of washbasin:
Women used to do back breaking job for 2 hours while talking to their neighbors and friends by a river/well.
Now they don’t have to do back breaking job, instead they have to do comfortable but soul crushing jobs with co-workers they cannot naturally (professionalism) mingle with.
How often can I probe it? If I can establish you are over 15 but under 17… I know you are 16 (squeeze theorem or something)
Did you punish those people for lying? Or did the society (and their laws) decide that it was an ok thing to do?
