Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

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.

Extra large concert venues

Politics that I have no control over

looking at house for sale that are 40% overpriced 

Filling the car with gas, oil change and all car services

(Bought an ev in 2023)

listening to people comparing new music and classic rock

(laptop music vs actually excelling on playing an instrument)

BS trends that folks are lining up for like Sheeple

Music artist Genre jumping because they can’t come up with anything original in their own genre
