Look at the home building inspection YouTube shorts. Guy pulls up to a house. Looks at the foundation, it's cracked. Opens the door, it's jammed and requires force. Finishes opening the door, it slams into a low part of the ceiling. Goes into the bathroom. Turns the tap. Water comes out. Sprays directly on something that shouldn't have water on it. Runs the shower. Water pools away from the drain and stays there. Opens the bathroom door from this side. Doorhandle bangs into towel rail, door is tricky to open. Drops a golf ball on floor tiles (apparently a standard test). Several are loose. Turns on the light switch. No light because the light only comes on when both switches are on. Goes to the kitchen. Puts the $5 outlet tester in each outlet. Missing neutral. Reversed hot and neutral. Missing ground. Runs hand over the wallpaper. It's not even close to flat. Goes up to the attic. Looks at where the beams are joined together. Half the nail plates are stuck into one beam instead of joining two beams. You get the idea. Could be staged for the video, but I believe it. You don't make back the cost of wrecking a house from ads on a short form video.

This is the state of the homebuilding industry right now. Most of these homes are sold to people who don't make payment contingent upon passing an inspection. The business knows quality doesn't matter to buyers and you can save lots of money by cutting corners.

This is not just homebuilding, this is the future of every industry. We're putting distilled water in the hydroponics. In tech, it was already happening before AI, just look at the usability decline in every Windows and OSX version.
