Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

I’m done going to see & hear great musicians in even moderate sized venues whose sound gets ruined by big line array speaker systems digitally amplified. Most of the beautiful nuance, detail, tone etc. of their fine skills played on great instruments is lost. My pretty good home system does a better job communicating all this than any live concert I’ve seen in several years. Small venues like a nightclub or cafe is all I’ll consider now but there aren’t that many left anymore. 

YouTube videos that over hype products. “This will destroy all others” or “The last    “blah blah” you’ll ever need”. “Holy Grail.” And my all time favorite “Giant Killer”.

Leaf blowers and the folks that used them.

In general:

How politics has seemed to now permeate every facet of our lives and every single topic ever discussed, no matter how irrelevant;

Audio specific:

Hyperbolic overmarketing of opinion as fact. If you want me to pay attention, just tell me WHY you think something is cool (and please, a few factual data points to back up your points - or even a comparison to show superiority... OR just say "I don't really know why this is so cool - I just like it!")

Excellent - and then of course there is "punches above its weight" - what weight?

And this ties into the infamous loophole in all YT reviews, "best in its price class" - seems sort of limiting in that other products "punch above their weight" eh?
