Why I Don’t Run my Battle of the Barristers Experiences Online

I think some of the appetite for delivering everything online is wearing off. I can see the attraction of doing things remotely when time and money are tight, but I’m increasingly aware of how often convenience is used to sell us a version of something that’s become less good. It feels like a particularly maddening feature of late-stage capitalism that people are having to think harder about what they can afford, at the same time as being asked to accept less care in what they buy. I think there’s a growing appetite for products and experiences where you can tell somebody has thought about what it will feel like to use it/take part.
