Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

Good thing I've been getting my media from the high seas for years, never used an uber, and I don't give a shit about the cloud.

As far as Ubers, I'm happy to pay them as much as taxis in tips at least — the people driving them are hard working people who could use it.

But dang, there's lots of streaming services. The new rise of piracy is not surprising.

I think it says something that people feel the need to subscribe to half a dozen services.

Never even mind piracy, people don't need to be binging TV endlessly.
