Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

Taco bell has switched their demographic from dining in, to take out and drive thru. Started with the pandemic, that's why most stuff that used to be readily available isn't put out anymore. All the taco bells in my area did this, same with several other fast food chains.

Why I don't eat out as much is because of the shrinkflation. Back in the mid 90's you used to be able to get a whopper for a dollar. Now they're pushing $6 and they just aren't the same anymore. More if you get a meal.

What is the least shit online store of the shitty ones? such as: Wish, AliExpress, etc..

I bought some stuff from Ali express. Mixed results. Bought a video adapter for my wife's car so an aftermarket radio could use the factory backup cam. Worked great. Bought a 'billet' camshaft for a Suzuki. Was obvious it was cast, because they didn't bother to align the two halves together they were off 1/8". Left a bad review about it, they deleted the entire part listing, then re-posted it to hide my review, then blocked me as a customer.

VPN and qBittorrent not playing nicely

Not having to update the router port sure makes things easier, especially since Proton changes the port at times.

I believe I have found the issue, it appears split tunneling is broken right now. As soon as I disabled it, suddenly got seeds and was able to seed again. Shame split tunneling is not working again, as I need it off for local hosting certain games.
