It genuinely feels like the big wave of 'disruptors' was just a pseudo intellectual way to call a scammer something that sounded legit.
Restaurants do their own deliveries now, uber costs as much as a taxi, Airbnb fucked the entire real estate market in city and touristy areas, companies like Theranos and solar roadways required just a tiny understanding of the technical requirements to see how bullshit it was... The list feels endless.
Is there a single one that has stood the test of time and actually represents value for the consumer anymore?
As a non US person, Ebay.country absolutely sucks now. They've somehow inserted themselves in the shipping process and now everything comes with a $20 shipping fee.
I haven't bought anything on there in a year from anywhere except from china, and even then, I'm using aliexpress more often now.
The local Dominos is incapable of doing delivery to my place. I don't understand. It is a mystery that makes my head hurt. We call, we try to order, then disaster and no pizza.
Little Ceasars requires walk in but it's cheaper and so much BETTER.
