@body@mastodon.social I dont get the first thing. Fursuits... exist? NFTs are a URL glued to a token made from burning 120 kilograms of benzyne

Ebay and my bank are not letting me use my own money that I have, so it would be really excellent if I could earn some commission money please. ko-fi donation/commission link under CW. 

They usually take a few years to get really bad, but once they start on that trajectory they'll do anything to keep fucking everyone over to increment a value mostly decided by the opinions of a group of over-privelaged, under-socialised Europeans in ugly and expensive outfits

Corporations are like rogue universal paperclips AI except running at 14 hertz and making exclusively suboptimal, but cruel decisions

@noiob there were other phone manufacturers, and also some of those cases were designed to provide grip on smooth plastic handsets rather than protecting them from falls

@noiob obviously prior to the iphone yeah they were less common but when you can make a thousand shitty cases for less than the device costs you're probably gonna at least try

@noiob if you have a factory already you can sell 1% of the things you make and make a massive profit. Petroleum biproducts don't cost a whole lot

@noiob but yeah manufacturers used to give you things before it became cool to remove a feature every 2 years

@noiob where there's a popular device there's infinite injection moulded/pleather garbage to wrap it in

@noiob I think cases were mostly for larger things like PDAs, pocket PCs and the like

old phones were largely very small and light with comparatively small screens, so you're way less likely to break it compared to a thin, heavy device with the same or lower overal durability
