I just watched a video regarding the fall of Radio Shack here:

As with a few other videos I'd seen, it seemed overly repetitive and the video clips didn't match the narrative. I suspected that it was AI generated, so I began searching through the comments to see if anyone else picked up on it. That's when I found a comment by ChopperGirl!!

Their products stopped being edgy and hard to acquire things, and started being consumer pablum rubbish. Their hey day were their TRS-80 years & electronic educational kit years. I think as soon as they started selling RC trucks and cars, and cell phones, and pushing batteries, they spiraled down the toilet. Am I right, or am I wrong? When they went down the toilet, the only thing left of interest to me was the overpriced rare part in little baggies, and even then I felt uncomfortable like I was under security cameras, because by the rest of the store catered to the Idiocracy


First, I agree with her comment, and I gave her a thumbs up. Second, I am curious about her opinion on it being AI generated. What do you think ChopperGirl?
