Everyone’s approach to life is different, but there are some things many of us agree on. For example, recent economic conditions have resulted in homeownership being less attainable, while the pandemic and the Great Resignation have made us realize the value of freedom, comfort, and flexibility. We understand that celebrities can’t save us and that things need to change if we want to wake up with a smile on our faces in this ever-changing world. Interested in what that could be, Reddit user MustPlayVR made a post on the platform, asking people, “What needs to die out in 2024?” Here are some of the most popular answers, big and small.

Subscription services. But they won’t. They’ll keep replacing single upfront purchases. It’s a shame.

Pumping in more and more advertisements into…*everything*, even premium/paid monthly subscriptions/streaming. Sports are taking longer and longer due to more ads. More ads are being injected into everything.
It’s hard to imagine most ads are even effective at all. How many people have bought an item or service based on advertising? If anything it makes me more likely to not buy it, especially if the ad is particularly annoying or way overplayed.
Also, ad agencies used to put much more effort into ads/commercials. Commercials were never a good thing, but some used to be slightly funny or entertaining at least.

Filming everything. Filming at the gym. Playing phone speakers out loud in public. Price gouging. Rent hikes. Stagnated wages.

Gender reveal parties where they start forest fires just to announce their unborn child’s gender like seriously, just send a text to everyone saying “it’s a boy/girl”

Influencers filming themselves “helping” others, you’re not helping them, you’re exploiting them for your own gain.

#28
Conflicts that date back to the Bible

Sports betting or atleast the f*****g ad blitz. My state just allowed sports betting in the past couple years. Let me tell you, I have never seen a non substance addiction hit a state so f*****g hard. A lot of people I know are gambling addicts who don’t want to admit it. It’s only getting worse, too. I hope we get some documentaries on this initial wave of allowing sports betting.
I think we have atleast another decade of this before they start regulating it a little better. However, I think what ever regulation occurs, it’ll be too little too late and it won’t help.

Still using covid as an excuse for everything going wrong. “We’re understaffed because of covid” “Prices are up because of covid” “We’re out of bread at the grocery store because covid affecting the suppliers” yea that last one was personal

The word unalive should unalive itself next year.
#35
Strong opinions on things we are too lazy to research.
I still do it, I try to rethink important issues and say have I honestly researched this or am I just saying what I heard someone else say.

Gerrymandering

Corrupt politicians and billionaires
#40
People that facetime over their phone speaker in public
#41
Remakes.
#42
Advertising outside of actual storefronts. I don’t think people realize how much damage the ad industry does. If you really think about it, most of the current political instability can be attributed to advertisment profit incentives to sensationalize the news and promote hysteria on social media. Killing ads would completely change the media landscape and seriously alter our way of life.
#43
Income inequality.
#44
Daylight Savings. The one thing everyone can agree on.
#45
Homelessness
#46
TIKTOK

#52
People being offended by everything and anything
#53
Low income apartments still being $1,500

Conditional masculinity/feminity. Basically letting whoever your partnering with be the key to unlocking your “masculine energy” or “divine feminine”. You sound like an idiot.
#55
Getting bullied for having a different opinion
#56
Thought policing
#57
Adult angst. I’m really tired of people making bigoted laws because they’re imagining people being mean to them like we’re all still 14 and in high school.
#58
Multi billionaires.
#59
MAGA. Vote them out or be subjugated by these Christofascist loons.
#60
Probably about half of the US political leaders. A bunch of out of touch rich dinosaurs should not be making decisions for us
#61
Lip and cheek injections – women are so beautiful yet they are trying so hard to look like filters. I truly wish they could be happy without that influence.
#62
Cancel culture, specifically when it is about something that happened ages ago, at a time that behavior was not considered problematic
#63
Pharmaceutical ads
#64
Mosquitoes.
#65
Distance from others. Nobody really talks or hangs out anymore since most people just talk on the phone or play video games. I’m guilty of this too, but I wish I hung out with my buddies more.
#66
Having to walk through clouds of cigarette smoke/ vape.
People will light up in doorways or blocking paths so you have no other option but to walk through it.
Nearly walked into the back of a guy who abruptly stopped to light up the moment he left the hospital doors.
#67
Cognitive dissonance
#68
Autotune outside of Electronic music. Please.
#69
Wokeness.
Not caring about people who are disadvantaged and downtrodden and treated unfairly. We need to do even more for that.
Just the part where all white people are evil and all trans / minorities / are perfectly moral monoliths and people act like they’ve attained virtue because they retweeted #BLM on their anonymous twitter feed. Less of that and more judging people not by the color of their skin or their sex, but rather by the content of their character.
