5 months agoPeople are now conditioned to need INSTANT GRATIFICATION FOR EVERYTHING ALWAYS!
“I want a Steam Deck! I can’t actually afford these new prices! I’m buying it anyways!”
Then retailers see the insane prices people pay for stuff without blinking. Steam Decks sell out after a 40% markup. RAM & SSDs & HDDs sell out at 4x what they sold for a year ago. So the prices never go back down.
And everyone goes full surprised-Pikachu-face when everything is now always goddamn expensive.
Show some fucking restraint for once, people!
Goddamn.
That was my experience also. Within minutes of spinning up any new subdomain with a dedicated A DNS record, I had bots that scraped it from https://crt.sh/ knocking on the door.
With wildcard subdomains and relatively obscure URLs, it’s pretty quiet.
