Tyler digs into why phones, earbuds, and even video games are suddenly going backward, dumb phones, wired earbuds, and vinyl are all trending up while smartphones and streaming keep getting more bloated and expensive. He walks through the polling data on Gen Z and millennials wanting simpler tech, then connects it to something bigger: the licensing traps hiding underneath your music, movies, and games, where companies like Sony and Apple have straight up pulled purchased content from people's libraries. It's a personal, sometimes self deprecating look at why owning something physical might be the only real way to actually own it anymore.
