Quote from: Neenyah on October 03, 2023, 21:24:14I remember how some 17-ish years ago people used to say that 4:3 sucks, that 4:3 looks old and it's obsolete, that we need 16:10. OEMs started to provide 16:10. People kept claiming that 16:10 is not enough, that we need 16:9 because of the media, because "all dem moviez are 16:9" etc. and we got to 16:9. Many years later people started to complain how 16:9 suck, that we all need 16:10. We started to get more and more 16:10 lately. And now people say how 16:10 suck and how we need 4:3. Funny.
1. "THE OPINION OF THE MAJORITY IS ALWAYS WRONG BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS" (c)
2. The majority of the world's population are content consumers, not producers. They are not creators and are not even a productive layer of humanity.
3. Since the majority are idiots and consumers of content, not producers, their consumption habits are skillfully shaped by manipulators of their consciousness - professional marketers.
For this reason, the productive minority every year (until moment X, when it burns the entire civilization) has less and less influence on the quality and characteristics of mass goods. And due to the fact that the productive layer of the population on the planet is shrinking like "shagreen skin", goods for them are produced in ever smaller quantities and at ever higher prices, which again sharply increases the cost of entry into the professional world of creators and the productive layer from an early age . Naturally, such a degradation spiral (within the framework of assessing the productivity of the entire civilization) has its clear mathematically calculated end. And it will come soon enough by historical standards (but not by the standards of human lifespan, alas).
