There is a DIRECT correlation between this shit and removing the headphone jack.
When you can get earphones for $2 at the local servo, it’s easy. When you’re looking at $300 earbuds or six week shipping for cheap chinese knockoffs, you just use the speaker
It’s a shame, because I would totally buy some cheap but good wired ones to keep in my bag and hand to people doing this shit if things still had the jack.
Much more powerful than telling someone they’re being a dick.
The people described didn’t give a shit then and don’t give a shit now. It’s not the unavailability of headphones causing people to suddenly be rude and self-centered.
There was a significant minority of people that only cared enough if it was easy for them to do so. It’s now harder, so there’s more people that gave up even trying.

I mean you can get USB earbuds for $7 on Amazon… It’s not like it’s hard.
