#Shrinkflation

Continued thread

Similarly, #consumers cut back on "non-essential spending" as well, as #Greedflation & #Shrinkflation bleeds them dry.

Or to put in the words of #GabeNewell: "Piracy is always a service problem!"

  • And given how #Valve turned their #OnlineDRM aka. #Steam into something that #IndieDevs get bullied into publishing on, there's certainly some weight to it, as even #EpicGames struggles to get even a tiny market share from Valve's de-facto #monopoly despite burning through millions if not billions of money to give away #games (after all they still need to pay the licensees/publishers/creators of the games they give away)...

Add to that the obnoxiousness of #AlwaysOnlineDRM that makes modern Games literally unplayable when the #Publishers decide to kill the infrastructure needed for it.

  • Steam at least does have contingencies in place to actually remove it's #DRM and allow users to get a #DRMfree copy of their games if they were to close shop but that's not the norm in the industry. Otherwise #StopKillingGames would not be necessary as a petition.

I boarded the MAX to #PDX at 5:42pm yesterday; after many delays, my Alaska Airlines flight touched down in #Detroit at 5:24am. During that entire period, the only sustenance offered was this single ***half-ounce*** packet of pretzels. I've heard of #shrinkflation and corporate #kleptomania, but this literally takes the biscuit... ☹️

I cannot with this #shrinkflation 😂😂
I finally quit Amazon forever so I was searching for a new place to buy blue #overtone conditioner.

“Bold new look” means it went from 8 oz to 4.5 oz. They’re right, that’s bold AF. 🖕🏻
I like how they try to make the tiny tube look bigger than the 8 ounce bottle that I currently have in my shower right now. I would’ve been so pissed off if I ordered this.

Lime Crime did this last year too. They took away the tubs of Full Moon (6.76 oz) that were $18, and that color was then only available at Walmart in a 3oz tube for $10.

These corporate bastards really dislike us blue haired women I guess.

It's too bad I don't have an older box, but if I remember well, there was not a 2 and a quarter inch of empty space on one end ( ? ) ...
And it's definitely not because the content settled like in cereal boxes !
would be a great idea. I don't care if it's gonna be , , reduce at the source ...
So come on, redesign the box, even if the content has not been recently reduced !
