Maybe tools in general as much as it is about media.

Maybe CNCs ruined the artistry of hand carving things but damn they made a lot of stuff possible too.

Sounds good in theory, but I don’t think that holds up in practice. For example, computers getting more affordable and powerful year by year didn’t stop people from buying them.

If the price is lower than the opportunity cost of NOT having it, people will buy it now, even if the product will be priced better next year.

Lower prices incentivize consumption though, right? It definitely hurts profits, but people buy lots more pointless shit if they can afford it.

And let’s not underestimate the intimidation factor of “boom”.
