I mean the first Google result when you lookup 'apple usb-c dongle' [1]. It's $70. [1]: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJ1K2AM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multipor

  If you're on HN, you should know that Google results are tailored to the person, not the search query. The first Google result I got for the same query was the previously mentioned $19 dongle.

    > If you're on HN, you should know that Google results are tailored to the person, not the search query. Incognito FTW But they're all overpriced, because they cost $.80 to make. That's the essence of the whole dongle thing, the margins on them are gigantic. It's why Apple's iPhone connectors were proprietary for so long, it's why they're moving away from analog headphone jacks, it's why the MacBook only has one USB-C port. I honestly don't know how this is controversial at all.
