"The online bidding revolution has brought its own particular new foibles but remains the most efficient and transparent link in an otherwise messed up home buying process"
"One in five people have experienced regret at least once a week about posts they put up on social media. This, at least, is the finding of a British survey of 1,000 people conducted in 2024 by two drinks companies."
"The Global Drug Survey in 2021 actually showed Ireland at the top spot in the international charts for doing stuff when intoxicated that we later regret (ahead of Poland and New Zealand)."
Online bidding has revolutionized the home buying process by providing a more efficient and transparent mechanism than traditional methods. While the overall home buying system remains problematic, online bidding platforms represent a significant improvement in how properties are transacted. The article uses social media regret as a humorous parallel, noting that one in five people experience weekly regret about social media posts, with intoxication being a common factor in impulsive online behavior. The comparison suggests potential risks of making hasty decisions online, including the hypothetical scenario of bidding on a house while intoxicated.
