Do You Agree? Get Your Complaints Here!
I’m a big fan of Reddit. I’m a member of many different subredddit’s since they have one for just about everything! I also like to complain. Just for the fun of it.
Well, I was pretty excited and entertained when I came across and read a Buzzfeed article that showcased a Reddit thread of people complaining about things that have gotten “Way worse over the years.”
Off the top of my head I could easily think of a baker’s dozen to make my own list, but here are some of the responses from Reddit Users:
- “Social media. Facebook before the news, ads, and outrage feed was a really nice tool.”
I would agree with this one. Facebook is almost unusable and very irritating now. When many of us first signed up it was fun to friend some old acquaintances from high school and see what each other was up to. Now, it just puts me in a negative mindset.
- “Outlet malls. They used to be places where you could find designer stuff for cheaper, but now most of it is just crappier stuff made specifically for the outlet.”
As a kid, I remember going to certain outlet stores looking for great deals. I remember getting a really nice pair of jeans for barely a quarter of the price because they had a pen got stain on them. It was awesome. Now……You can barely find a semi-bargain.
- “Almost every household appliance. Things used to be built to last for generations … These days, you’ll be lucky to get five years out of some appliances you buy.”
It’s true, the craftsmanship in many things why buy is just not high quality anymore. That even goes for cell phones, which seem to crap out within two years. And as you know……they are not cheap!!!
- “Tinder and dating apps in general.”
I’m thankful to not have to worry about this one since I’m married. But I have friends who use a lot of apps and I hear nothing but horror stories! What happened to just going out and trying to meet someone…..in person?
I give honorable mention to the users who posted these comments:
- “Furniture. Everything used to be solid wood. Now it’s all paperboard.”
- “Jeans. I have jeans from when I was 14 that are in great shape. Meanwhile, I’ll buy overpriced designer stuff today and I’m lucky if it lasts two years. Why is everything so THIN?”
- “Rent. Keeps going up with no additional added value.”
