My old broker's fees were so bad I almost quit investing.

Depends on what they were trying to do with the gating. Sometimes a feature fails because it was badly made, but other times it's a cost-cutting choice that backfired. Was this a case of the designers not understanding how people would actually use it, or did the company just not want to pay for a better part? That's the real question for me.

Oh man, my buddy had the same thing happen... he got so fed up he just started scanning the local park instead. Found a silver ring his second day out, way less junk. Maybe try a public spot that's seen a lot of people over the years.

Just saw an ad for a smart trash can that tracks what you throw away and gives diet tips. A trash can! That's where we're at now?

The right tool makes all the difference on those jobs.
