> I think peoples tastes have shifted to quality in more areas, because they can quickly google and see what the best looks like. I've noticed that I do a lot more min/maxing. I'm always optimizing my purchases for the best available at the lowest cost. Which means hundreds of hours of research. Research which often makes no real difference in the end. I'm reminded of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZK8Z8hulFg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZK8Z8hulFg If you're into the mechanical keyboard community or subreddit you know the meme of an "end game" keyboard. This borders on mental illness at times. Preparing to do the thing you want to do rather than actually doing the thing.
