Yup this same story seems to play out all the time. Whether it’s a product or s home remedy, it seems like everything people try to do with their face has the opposite of desired results.

Once again, a bunch of bots, trolls, astroturfers anonymously posting and maybe claiming to be progressive on the internet. If you fell for it that’s on you.
I suspect these people are astroturfers purposefully trying to stay in the way.
You think some British radio host who isn’t big enough to have his own Wikipedia page was a significant influence on US elections? I can’t even find enough info on this dude to determine what his political views are and whether he self-identities as “progressive” or not.
Every progressive politician in the US was trying to get as many anti-Trump votes as possible.
Dishonored 2 was made by the Lyon studio, Prey was made by the Austin studio
Are these progressives who told people not to vote for Biden or Harris in the room with us right now?
A lot of Trump’s moves away from green energy and back to fossil fuels arguably hurt Musk. He specifically mentioned in his inauguration that he will ensure anyone can buy whatever kind of car they want: meaning he wants to continue to support ICE vehicles.
I can’t find that Sonos has ever made hearing aides. They make wifi-based “smart” speaker and, more recently, headphones that are part of that ecosystem.
They’re way overpriced for what they are, similar to the Apple model. Just charging really high prices and trying to create an aura of “premiumness” to justify it. Not the most egregious offense, but annoying
The app launch. The app now takes forever to open and I often have to retry opening it around 4-6 times anytime I want to do anything. Considering these are speakers, and that often means that I want to pause, play, change the track, or change the volume. Those are all usually functions where having to wait 60-300 seconds is an unbearably long time, especially when you need to lower the volume. Worst of all, I have my living room TV going into the Line In on one of the speakers, and the entire section of the app called “Sources” where I can select that just disappears entirely ~80% of the time. So if I go to watch TV or play videogames or whatever and my wife was listening to music earlier now I’ve got to wait several minutes of reloading the app to be able to just use the direct line-in.
They also removed the feature to play audio files that were on the controlling device. Other users have complained of other features like alarms that got removed or broken, though I didn’t use those.
The old version of the app was not particularly great, but the replacement was a clear downgrade and made previously purchased hardware worse.
A bit ago they had another controversy where you could “retire” of devices you didn’t want anymore. What did this feature do? Why, it just bricked the device and turned it into e-waste no one can ever use again! What could go wrong?
More of my complaint for my specific speakers because I don’t know if they’re whole lineup is like this, but really annoying that only 1 of my 2 speakers even has a line-in, and neither of them have Bluetooth options. I’ve got to just hope everything i want to listen to is on a specific supported service, or find a way to get the audio to play on the TV if that isn’t in use.
They were gifts from my in-laws. I was kind of skeptical about it but they weren’t too bad until the app change. I was even considering maybe getting another speaker to fill out the house before all this. But now I’m looking to get out of the ecosystem- maybe just build my own home theater speaker system for the living room and get a plain old Bluetooth speaker for the bedroom.
Been in my backlog for a while, and this may have convinced me to check it out soon.
Also I gotta say I love the idea of Mid game reviews. Everyone talks about great games to death. Terrible games get s ton of discussion and have the “so bad it’s good” angle. Mid games are often solid values and rewarding experiences that get forgotten about over time.
