Well the thing is also that they are kind of unaffordable? Its like the Sam Vimes Shoes socioeconomic theory from Terry Pratchett if you look that one up.

Tbh i think its valid kinda, for stuff like fridges and washing machines and shit. They die way before they should if they were constructed properly.

Just a feature of the market, the companies involved would either have to scale down production, or produce them cyclically, which would lead to increased price due to new scarcity and then a competitor would undercut them and replace their market share.

I think Instant Pot for electronics, which just lasted too long for the usual buyer to buy one more often than every decade or fifteen years or something. When i said electronics i meant more like, daily appliances. Fridges, ovens, kettles, this kinda stuff. Not computers.

I'll have to ask around for the bike, i know my dad mentioned it to me recently which is why i brought it up but i can't recall the name of the company. It was a czech(oslovakian???) brand tho, i think.

They make more than hammers, and hammers are easier to lose. And some *** always steals them at work so work has to buy more.

This isn't exactly first time it happened, but it is the first time i hear about it wrt non-electronics.

A local bike company here killed itself that way. Started out small, sold like hotcakes, expanded production sevenfold, everyone had the bike and people stopped buying because it lasted forever. Only way would've been to expand internationally but that wasn't really an option at the time iirc.

During their adventures spanning dozens of chapters, they meet grand total of two other human survivors. Manga is Girls Last Tour, it's got an anime that adapted i think first half or something like that.
