    It’s planned obsolesence. They make more money by marketing high tech/luxury stuff and having it break on purpose in a defined amount of time.

    I got some Carhartt “worker” jeans, advertized as nice jeans for manual laborers.

    I work from home in my home office. The crotch tore in less than 6 months of hard… sitting.

    Expensive shit they want you to buy over and over again because they think you’re an idiot. I learned to sew, learned to darn my nice wool socks that tore predictably in 6 months, repair and maintain my motorcycle, repair my plumbing, because fuck all this enshittification.

    My new MO is to buy your shit once, and either i will say your brand is great or keep wearing my torn/repaired carhartt jeans and keep reminding people never to buy them unless they want to learn how to sew. Fuck these greedy pieces of shit.

      not even planned obselence, make the components so cheaply made, it randomly breaks and you have to buy a new one anyways.
