Re: What things do people spend huge amounts on money on that you find incomprehensible?

Anything where the increase in price isn't matched by a corresponding increase in quality. If I spend hundreds or (if I had that kind of money) thousands on something, it better be "drop bomb on it, still works" durable and also aesthetically pleasing.

Smart appliances, houses, etc. If they were purely an accessibility aid and not mostly an easy failure point + way to collect and sell user data, they'd be useful, but as they are I'd pay way more for a washing machine/fridge/whatever that doesn't need software updates and won't stop working if the internet does (I don't have internet access except for my phone, so anything that requires a connection to work is extra bullshit.)

Are you me?

I went too off the line on something recently because it was worth it. And for something else I went with the cheap no-name thing because it was better quality and MUCH better value than the biggest name stuff.

We don’t have any smart appliances. We don’t have a doorbell camera, either. The closest we come to any of that stuff is a keypad garage remote mounted on the outside. The one that came with it died in 18 months so I spent $7 on Amazon for a generic one and after three years none of the connections have eroded like on the name brand one that cost $40 to replace.
