Back to the original question - YES, the results I get have been wildly varied, and usually poor. I have tried every kind of yeast available on the store shelf, a very limited selection. All these wonderful tips are useless if the yeast itself is dead.
Interesting. Is this something you've noticed recently, or an ongoing thing?
Some of the stores that serve the blueshirt niggers have fresh yeast cake, I thought about trying that if I could use it up quick enough.
That was shortly after the "pandemic" started, when I made a valiant effort to make bread. Over a few months. Only from chain grocery stores.
