Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

For music I can’t be bothered with:

1. vinyl except when it’s included in box sets with CDs and BluRays.  I don’t have a turntable anymore so the albums stay in the box.  
2. Radio with commercials.  

3.  Overpriced concerts.  If I can buy your entire music catalog on CD for less than the price of 2 tickets, I’m out.  

Beyond music, negative or toxic people.  Life is too short.  

Hey, you kids stay off of my lawn!  

Endless debates about gear when control of key variables have not been accounted for. Take, for example, the room.

Food critics would never debate the quality of food if they were unsure whether or not food was doused in ketchup...

But many audiophiles will debate the sound of gear not knowing the role the room is playing.

You guys inspire me:

1. YouTube videos where the poster blabbers about anything except the point of why you clicked in the first place.

2. Small type. Can’t read it, MAKE IT BIGGER! Related: Ads with a black background and small gray type. Idiots.

3. $100k speakers (and subwoofers extra). Why do $100k speakers NEED subwoofers?

4. Songwriters that don’t know how to write songs. Apparently, writers these days don’t know how to develop a song. Give you EVERYTHING in the first verse and have nothing (new) for the last. Also, stupid repetition. Changing a single word in a subsequent verse (hey! Don’t cost anything!) shows that you’re, at least, awake.

Hey you kids! Get off my song!

I cannot be bothered with forum contribution's that read like an advertisement for Big Audio. “I own a … and it cost … and it is better because it came from…”

Let’s get real here folks, anyone who is on Audiogon has owned, borrowed, bought, built and experimented with lots and lots of Stuff. You are not impressing anyone (at least not me).

Renting/leasing a Nissan forklift to raise my amp while I dust under it.

Speaker grilles

Pop up ads on vinyl. They really mess with the stylus in a bad way.

Kiosks and/or self-service of any kind.  It's really difficult to hold the mirror AND the Dremel during a DYI root canal.

Those who preach that the stuff inside our audio gear is created by a higher power and we mere mortals shouldn't mess with it.

Forums with no sense of humor.
