"I just hate everything so now I'll inflict myself on everybody else".
What a waste of time :-(

"I just hate everything so now I'll inflict myself on everybody else".
Not really hate. Disdain might be a better word, extreme dislike. Hate implies emotion and I don't have it. It is more like "Look at this shit".
And BTW, nobody is forcing anyone to read this thread. I ranted, and then I had to again because someone said I made a statement based solely on the fact that we can't trust the ratings. I did not.
Another thing is they keep on discontinuing everything I like. My Mother used to get these stuffed chicken breasts from an outfit call Market Day which was run my where her boss's kid went to school. She gave me a couple of them and they were fantastic. Stuffed with broccoli and cheese. Nice thick cheese, big chunks of broccoli. I used to reimburse her for a couple of boxes when she went. They were over a buck apiece too and you could not just nuke them. you want the good you need a toaster oven at least.
Well one day I look at the box and it says "new and improved". Damn. The cheese sauce did not have the same flavor at all, it almost didn't taste like cheese. And the broccoli was those little eentsy pieces like the dried things you get in a package of macaroni and cheese, or one of those rice side dishes.
So many things, "we don't have that anymore". And don't even get me started on software. Seems like every damn "upgrade" they make takes away, or hides some features or controls/settings I used to like.
So y'all, instead of bitching about my bitching, why don't you join in ? There has to be something you don't like about this brave new world now that the REAL 1984 has happened.
Maybe some of you should be forced to go to Bestbuy. Test drive a new Chevy economy car. Or best yet, let someone else have the remote and be forced to watch some new TV shows or movies.
I probably have not read all of this carefully enough but I do get the sentiment.
It has been clear to me for some time that many many corporations in all arenas of consumer life as well as in much more important arenas (political, finance etc.) have simply become bullies and LIARS. Don't like it?...talk to my on hold music or my falsely polite and unhelpful human robots.
Sadly what I'm also seeing is that individuals and small businesses are becoming the same way...incompetent, lazy, unresponsive or worse cheaters and rip off artists.
I had an SOB on another audio site sell me a TT with a bent tail on the arm. I had purchased it as a gift for a friend. It was packed well and in no way was any shipping damage evident nor could the arm have been damaged in this way by shipping. Even after sending pics etc...this SOB wouldn't take it back and insisted I "contact the Post Office"...This lying cheat is still active on that board and acts like the voice of wisdom...he is exemplary of what I see going on.
Sadly this pathetic cheat did all of this to make $175 bucks on a Phillips "novelty" TT... I didn't want to start a fight on the BB so I ended up eating the loss...
I could so on and on and you may disagree but this is my 2 cents...I think it has some validity as does the OPs basic sentiment. The only antidote for this I feel is to make sure I never do this garbage to others...be fair, be honest, be empathetic and give back instead of just taking all the time..
