Why The Quality Of Everything Is F*cking Trash Now (www.youtube.com)

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.

Yes, enshittification used to be for digital products because the network effect and monopoly powers allowed the companies to be as abusive as they wanted to be.

Now enshittification has moved into meatspace because every product category is controlled by at most 5 international megaconglomerates.

The word is oligopoly.

And we used to know what to do about them.
