what's wrong with this pineapple? bottom is juicy, top is dry

[space-time]

like the subject says, the bottom is nice and juicy, the top part is dry and appears to be a whiter color, like it's not ripe yet? how to pick a nice pineapple?

Also, I watched several youtube videos on how to cut a pineapple, but when I cut one, I have to remove a lot of stuff to get rid of all those "scales" (if you can call them that). Seems like ~1/3 or the edible mass is lost this way.

I just purchase the ones that the store has already cut and cored. So much easier, though not necessarily cheaper. Finished one just this afternoon.

Its not the Pineapple, its gravity.
