Unpopular opinion: The 'perfect' nomad spot in Bali was a total letdown for getting things done

Last month in Canggu, the cafe everyone raves about had such bad wifi I couldn't even load a basic spreadsheet (which, you know, is kind of important). Has anyone else found a place that looks great online but completely kills your work flow?

Yeah, my whole trip was just me looking for a plug socket.

Ugh, it's the same everywhere now. Every "good" spot is just for the photo, not for actually doing stuff. Feels like the whole world is just pretending to work.
