They Literally Don't Make Things Like They Used To – SOME MORE NEWS
Hi. In today's episode, we look at Planned Obsolescence, the resulting mountains of e-waste, and why companies don't want you to be able to fix their crummy products.

Damn, did Technology Connections get everybody fired up? I just watched an Unlearning Economics video on the same topic.
What video did he do recently that would have gotten people fired up about this?

Might be more of a Baader-Meinhof phenomenon for me, because those two videos were just recommended to me back-to-back, and I’ve only watched the second one so far.
I really expected zero updoots here and maybe a reply saying I’m dumb cuz Tech Con barely said anything about obsolescence. I was just stream-of-consciousness’ing, but I guess others are feeling the same vibes? ¯(ツ)/¯
