The voting is done with money, and the money is in a few hands which right now say “yes, yes it is”. I don’t think this will last forever, though. Their free cash flow won’t allow it, and they are notoriously fickle.
It’s fine, the free market has always worked in our best interest.
You remind me of this dog I knew. 😂

“Shrinkflation” is a cute branding for theft and class warfare.
They’re going all in on lowering your quality of life to contribute to AI data centers, and pretending it’s some natural market force.
But it is a natural market force. It’s called greed.
The problem is that tech companies have fewer choices than ever. They can either hurt performance or raise prices.
Time for less bloaty software, boys!
(also please stop shoving a webbrowser in every app. Or imitating them in your GUI framework)
Get C back on the menu!
cheapflation as well, they try to disguise as the original product but you notice the plastic, is cheaper, or a quality part of the device is been replaced cheap degradable things.
It’s not quietly making them worse. It’s pretty obvious.
well, for us

Besides using the term “shrinkflation” which is arguably a “clickbaity” term in this context, I don’t think the article is terrible. It’s a bit of a nothing article, as it’s something that’s been called out for a while, but a lot of new devices on the horizon are providing less (RAM/storage) for the same/higher price.
Its not the most interesting article, but at least uses real examples demonstrating the effect, which is sadly better than most articles I’ve read on this topic.

Wow. Calling out the source for the article as “semi-reliable” is quite the dick move.
