Some things in this world need time to mature. Cheese and wine, relationships, our self-esteem… But they are not what this post is about. Quite on the contrary—we will be looking at things that miserably failed the test of time and made it into full walk of shame mode.
Thanks to the subreddit “Aged Like Milk” and its 713k devoted members, we have this precious collection of some pretty things, said or done, making a solid U-turn. “A subreddit dedicated to all those things in media and elsewhere that didn’t stand the test of time, at all,” states the community’s description and here you go, my attention is yours.
Let's scroll through some of the sourest cases below that will remind us all to think twice before letting something out into this world.

In order to not regret things you said or did and make them stand the test of time, you gotta be really good at decision making and being aware of what the future holds. But even then, it’s just a very human thing to do.
Unless you’re a superforecaster. It’s the practice of prediction that covers everything from whether a currency will become stronger, one country will invade another, or there will be civil unrest in a city. Superforecasters calculate the probability of something happening and then adjust that as circumstances change. In this way, they’re able to come up with consistent predictions.

yep. Guarantee race and political leanings were involved in his hypocrisy too
But it’s much more complex than that. According to Bloomberg, superforecasters did not accurately predict Brexit, putting the chances of a Leave vote at 23% in June 2016—the month of the referendum. Their predicted figure had been higher a few months previously, but they had adjusted the likelihood downwards, reports the BBC.

Microsoft Employees Holding A Funeral For The iPhone Following The "Success" Of Their Windows Phone
This is the problem companies have... concentrating on what others are doing and not themselves. Apple might be a horrible company, but for the longest time, they acted like everyone else didn't exist, they compared their new phones with their old phones
Yes! That was always Apple's superpower. "This thing that's borderline impossible with today's technology and market, let's figure out how to mass produce it". Microsoft was once like this too with software in the early days of PCs.
Load More Replies...Windows Phone was actually pretty nice, I had one. It just couldn't get a foothold in the market due to the dominance of Android and iOS. Hardware and OS were good, but people didn't develop apps for it and that killed it.
I had one as a work phone years ago. The first Nokia Lumia. It was really nice. I liked it a lot.
Load More Replies...People forget microsoft had in 1995 the first smarphone with internet, but it was too early, and failed, so they shelved it. Then when they got back in again, they were too late in a crowded market. Similar to what happened with them and tablets, they had the first one in 1991, backed out, and then came back in too late.
“There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.” Steve Ballmer, CEO Microsoft
Ballmer was a blowhard. That's part of the reason his tenure as CEO was so short.
