This is definitely on the horizon and future generations won’t even be aware of a time when you didn’t pay a subscription for every aspect of life. (TikTok screencap)

Meanwhile some Europeans inherited a 1962 Liebherr Fridge that still works in 2050
Every cooling cycle blows a hole in the Ozone layer the size of Sweden
We simply put all our printing appliances into the stratosphere. The ozone produced from the printing process closes the hole again
Most of the older stuff is really energy inefficient. That said they have looser tolerances so they break less and keep on chugging.
The new stuff has tighter tolerances and is made to reduce cost. These powers combined make them shit.
The worst part is that in a lot of cases paying more won't actually get you out of the trash. They just strap smart garbage to the cheap shit. You have to pay 5 to 10 times the amount for an actual decent appliance (ie one that's just good at doing what it is supposed to do) and even then it's a gamble.
Yeah we had to replace our piece of shit Samsung fridge this year and after doing days of research it turns out pretty much all fridges are pieces of shit these days.
And the few that aren't, start at $13k.
