Ask HN: Things you spend the most money on that you're the least satisfied with?
I'm asking this because that seems to be an indication that something about the thing is extra important. If it's a bad purchasing or product experience but we choose to buy it anyway then we probably really want something.
Examples: I have a strong distaste for a certain food delivery app, but I occasionally purchase from it anyway, because I really want some food item and I don't want to drive there to get it.
One way to frame the question: What's something you willingly spend/spent money on despite you disliking large aspects of the product or purchase experience?
Another way to frame the question: What are the things that you spend the most money on that you're the least satisfied with?
Please include in your answer whether this is for a business purchase or a personal one, if it's not obvious.

I'm always interested in taking the latest digital marketing courses that can be thousands of dollars but I am usually disappointed when they over promise and under deliver. A lot of the courses are the same info. Same goes with expensive conferences that are usually general info with a high price tag. The flip side is that you can find a lot of great info for free but it's a challenge to sift through everything to find the gold nuggets.
