Does dryers actually damage clothes? (lemmy.ml)

I see all sorts of answers online, but am not fully convinced. I tried finding some research on the longevity of clothes between wash and wash + dry. Considering that it dries for hours just the mechanical movement should damage the clothes I would assume?

either that or get gentler machines. i have an impeller driven washer and portable dryer that doesn't ridiculously hot and my clothes has lasted for literal decades now.

it also helps being naked 99% of the time too. lol
