Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

and more stuff are soulless cash grabs

When was it not?

and expect you to pump even more money into them on top of that.

Also I am not sure how the lack of value adds = lower quality.

The last move I saw that I cared about was Dune.

I agree. That 1980s masterpiece is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.

Many of the restaurants near me have reduced their quality of ingredients and staff, now when going to the nearby sandwich shop my order is wrong more often than it is correct.

Well what do you expect after 3 years of people screaming about having to wear a mask and reductions of immigration?

What do we do when the world is measurably becoming worse?

Start by using actual data not anecdotes. No one is convinced when you talk like that. It sounds like every old dude I knew growing up ranting.
