Luxury is absolutely done in the West but still exists in Asia and the Gulf states

4 January, 2026

Luxury is absolutely done in the West, it literally does not exist anymore

It doesn't matter if you pay $100 or $10,000, there's no tiers of service quality anymore, not in hotels, airlines, restaurants, product quality, it's all the same level of enshittification where nobody gives a fuck about their work anymore

Luxury still exists once you go to Asia though, you still get excellent service at both $100 or $10,000 levels from Thailand to China to Japan

And in the Gulf states like Qatar and Dubai
