If you're the kind of person who holds onto your car for 10 years, The accelerated maintenance and fees don't burn quite as hot. you get your oil change to any way you get your tires changed anyway, they just don't see it coming out of their pocket the same way the tires wore out because the tires wore out, not because you drove the piss out of it. They're making less they just don't see it happening.

The only way these platforms hold together is through VC funding and tipping. They'll all inevitably enshittify more and more, get bought out and eventually absorbed by some megacorp that just wants data to train AI on or some shit. Many such cases.

Step one is to not live in or close to a major city or high cost of living area. Step two is to buy an old compact car with good mpg in the $600 range. The insurance will be dead cheap. Then you work, not in a city, but a heavily gentrified suburb. I would average a net (yes, including costs etc.) $30 an hour before I got too ill to do pretty much anything. I have some good days where I can get stuff done, but it takes me way long to do it.
