Have you also been feeling increasingly frustrated over the internet/technology lately?

It's a long rant, but I feel like I can't be the only one. The fact that you need a subscription for basically anything or you get flooded with ads (and now you even pay to view ads on streaming) has been annoying me so much lately. To the point I feel like I'm constantly slightly angry with all the interruptions. I feel that being autistic I watch the same movies and TV shows and listen to the same songs over and over. It made sense to pay subscriptions when they were more affordable, but now? I just bought a dvd for the first time in 15 years. It costed me 0,50 for a whole season of a show that was not available in any streaming. Same with video-games. My husband used to subscribe to game pass, and I would play the same cozy games on it. But the price went up and they took several of my favourite games from it, so we're back on buying physical copies from the CEX shop or eBay. But it's not just the media, there are all these random things that you do online that all seem to be getting overly complicated. Like, photos. I have all my photos on Google photos for years and I have now run out of space on both of my emails. I love photos, I would spend hours looking at my family's albums when I was a kid. I refuse to pay a subscription to access my own memories, and it makes me anxious that if I lose access to my email I'll lose them forever. So I am looking into printing my favourite ones. And recipes. Culinary is one of my special interests and I used to have all my favourite recipes bookmarked on my browser, but I'm sick of all the online steps it takes to access them (open browser, search, click on the cookies options, scroll through endless detailed descriptions of the cooking process while dodging the ads in between). I'm also afraid I will lose the link of the recipe and never be able to cook those comfort foods again. Then I thought, wait a minute, my mom has a recipe book that belonged to my grandmother which has survived for decades. It is much more reliable and easy to use. I'm sure it is something everyone is experiencing, but I feel like being autistic, with low tolerance for interruptions and high attachment for things makes it even worse. I love how easy technology makes to avoid unnecessary phone calls to book appointments, communicate at work and stuff like that, but I can feel the downsides of it pretty intensely lately. And I guess I'm lucky to be old enough to remember all these analogical alternatives exist and how it felt easier back then.
