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.

And you could look for an appliance that is supposed to be quality, and costs even more than other "quality" brands. Then that thing you paid that much for lasts even shorter than the cheap appliance. And then when you take it to get repaired, because it cost so much of course it can be fixed, they tell you the entire [main active unit] needs replaced because the mfg doesn't provide the [small bit of active unit that's actually bad] which happens to cost only twice what the cheap appliance in whole costs.
