    Skip to 34:05 for him trying to explain enshittification with profit/quality/exploitation with a fun physical model.

    It's definitely super over-simplistic and ignores so much.

    I did watch the last video in this series and yeah he made some good points about the US/west losing manufacturing knowledge and capability, but with a huge dash of "China bad" to the point that when he decided he had no choice but to import a part he deliberately ordered from India even though it was mostly only available in China (because India is more okay than China for some reason?), then it turned out the Indian company just dropped shipped it from a Chinese manufacturer LMAO

    Sure is, according to the Americans anyway.

    I went over all the rules when I went, and according to the US regime we had to stay in Casas Particulares - Airbnb essentially (and literally, that's where you find many) because the hotels are run by the big evil gommunist govt. Cuba really doesn't care which you do of course it's all anti-Cuban nonsense from the states.

    I still didn't stay in the hotel simply because the prices were really expensive when I looked, and the Airbnb was affordable.
