I am toying with the idea of re-doing my old "why enthusiast brands will betray you" since it's 9 years old but people keep referencing it all the time.
What are newer examples of this phenomenon? Can you think of any brand that avoided this fate?

Just tried the Meta RayBans Display today. I fully hope this company fails, but the product is very intriguing!
The waveguide display is a little bit less invisible than I expected after having watched all the videos, but still the most impressive one I've seen yet.

Nothing's product photography / marketing imagery is by far the best in the business IMO. Always such a vibe!

I just got a DJI Romo review unit & while it looks absolutely gorgeous with its transparent & otherwise works great, it has the same issue as every single robot vacuum I've tried so far. My carpets are all thin & light because of floor heating and robots love to get stuck on the curled up edges.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over?
Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

Don't you love it when streets get cleaned, but only until the bike lane? After all, bikers are way more likely to slip on leaves and fall so they surely don't need cleaning

I've lately been obsessed with this app called StreetComplete. It gamifies contributing to OpenStreetMaps in by giving you you quests to do while you walk around. A fun way to get some steps in, to make you look closer at your environment and to do a good thing!

Selling your Tesla might take some time (you should still do it) but stopping your use of X is instantaneous. I genuinely don’t know what more evidence someone needs, especially Brits, to get off that website. This is as grotesque as it is chilling. Musk is hellbent on gravely damaging the UK
Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.
If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Musk is funding the legal battle of UK Far Right activist Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon - as he faces charges brought by counterterrorism police.
