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.

I work for a small (nearly big) company and we still do things with actual people. I'm fully prepared to push back as soon as that becomes an idea. They're already leaning towards AI bullshit for data crunching, which is fine as it is, it's helpful, but I can see the writing on the wall. I will not be words on that wall. I have faith the people I work with will do the right thing, but it's not unshakeable.
