npub1a4cfqcj5cq9qauuzz33rqq63kudnu6k7x4fe4xep93s7lu5hgk3szqt2kf (npub1a4c…t2kf) i didn't study it, but the kind of examples i usually get are washing machines, vacuum cleaners, cookware, etc. There might be a big survivor bias, but people generally report how they bought (for half a fortune, yes) something 20 or 30 years prior, it worked fine, and the modern replacement was dead in 5 years.

I think the main change, if any, is the availability of cheap & non-durable options.

I'm also very suspicious of concepts like planned obsolescence, but i don't have hard data.
