Why the fuck does it cost that much?!

In the case of competitors popping up, painfully long time. But acutely things are looking good. There is no money backing up these bullshit contracts.
What's that? Become a pirate?
Webshop, lol.
Great suggestion, funny I did not think of this earlier.
Alternatives please.
Prices going up has to match the demand for the supply. Price goes too high, then there is enough incentive for competitors to come into the market and increase supply. In the long run, it hurts the hoarders.
Channel it to an underground phase change storage.
That comes with the price of lower reliability, highly non-linear behaviour and a central point of failure (or control). But, its thr user's choice.
A man of culture, I see. Every system I admin runs SysVInit or OpenRC. I do not need a 'dictator' like systemd.
The 'modern' stuff breaks down faster due to 1) the fact that engineering has improved so much that obsolescence can be planned without compromising functionality. 2) 'Modern' stuff tries to cram in multiple features which are not necessary for its basic function. For this I blame the lack of diligence from buyers. The increased complexity means more parts that can fail. I bring up the example of SystemD (no offense to anyone, user's choice).
