I'm putting this in chat and not in Technology because I'm also wondering about things like clothes, appliances—basically any sort of consumer product, virtual or physical, you can think of that you feel has retained some standard of quality and has not yet been enshittified. I would start by saying that Wikipedia has not yet been enshittified, but perhaps you disagree? Post is inspired by this video.

EDIT: coyotino correctly points out that Wikipedia isn't a product but a service; poor word choice on my part, just trying to cast a wide a net as possible here in the hopes of making a list of "things that are still good that don't suck." Like I said, a wide net 🙂.

I don't know how they are for longevity, but I'm extremely pleased with the two Shark vacuums we own. We own a bed and breakfast so they get out to heavy use.

I remember my mom always getting Sharks, but they seemed to always fail after a couple of years.

bagless is a non starter for me at this point. Im tired of the stuff i just vacuumed going airborne when I go to empty the thing out. I heard that repairability for sharks to be basically bottom of the barrel since they keep coming out with new models and stop supporting old models.
