Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. Namely video streaming, ride-hailing, and cloud computing.

      The current days of Uber are jokerfying. I’ve seen techbro budgets that have hundreds of dollars going into Uber every month and over $1000 on food delivery and that’s just normal to so many people.
