Is it me, or are hobby electronic shops much harder to find today, like the one that sells Arduino, basic RCL's, and common IC's? I am not sure if it's just a trend that everything is sold online or if the interest is shifting towards software.

Because china is taking over in that sector, why should I pay triple when I can purchase it straight from the manufacturer. You can find anything electronics related on aliexpress.
