Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. Namely video streaming, ride-hailing, and cloud computing.

      I guess constant mass layoffs in tech are finally getting people to realize the system might not be working in their interest.

        hopefully the game dev unionization wave beaks into other tech workers.

          Game devs have definitely been leading the way here, so definitely hope it spreads.

      Anticapitalist, or anti product getting more expensive and hoping that the government fixes it without addressing the root problem?
