Do you feel like everything you buy is worse now than before? From low quality clothing and shoes to cheaply made electronics to flimsy furniture, it seems like you’re no longer getting your money’s worth. But is this just a perception, or is there really a trend of quality decline in the things we buy? In this video, we'll examine the possible reasons behind this phenomenon. From cost cutting measures due to inflation to changes in consumer behavior, there’s a lot at play. Add the rise of fast fashion, disposable culture, the greenwashing of products, and planned obsolescence, and you’ll find that corporate greed is at the root of it all.
To truly understand why everything you buy is worse now than before, it’s also important to look at consumer psychology that drives people to spend, the marketing and advertising tactics that disguise declining quality, and the rising prices that make the disappointment sting even more. And let’s not forget the illusion of choice that convinces you that you’re picking between competing brands, when in reality, most are cut from the same cloth. From everyday items to big purchases, it’s all part of a system of normalized scams designed to keep you buying again and again.
