Your toaster dies the second you unbox it. Pants rip on day one. The quality of everything is trash now. This is what bigheaded people call enshittification. Companies deliberately design products to break right after the warranty. This is due to the so-called “Hunt for Infinite growth.” Steady profits ain’t enough. They need MORE, so they skimp, shrink packages, and shove everything behind subscriptions. Infinite growth is a plague, and it hurts your personal finance.

Planned obsolescence has been a commercial strategy since the 1920s, it has been picking up pace and is now reaching its saturation point (that we now dub enshittification). The new terms and ways of thinking of it just describe planned obsolescence reaching its shit-peak culmination (we hope, I suspect it can worsen, and it has with the rich oligarchy deciding they can erode democracy with money so we have reduced agency too).
