I’d say infrastructure and devices worsened by planned obsolescence. gaming and media in general has by somewhat worsened by capitalism encouraging endless greed.

    A lot of agricultural products have been designed for being useful for a wide range of processed foods rather than for direct consumption by the public. Or they have been designed for shelf life and appearance rather than taste or nutrition. Examples:

    • Jalapenos that aren’t spicy.

    • Watery tomatoes.

    • Orange juice concentrate.

    • Corn for corn syrup.

    • Old garlic / topped garlic.

    • A near complete absence of fresh herbs but a huge amount of dried.

    • Worse limes (key limes are way better but the ones crossed with lemons are ubiquitous because they have better shelf life).

    • An absence of seasonal produce in general, replaced by year-round bland stuff.
