Comment "Planned Obsolescence" doesn't exist (Score 1) 47

When we buy the cheapest thing on the shelves we tell the manufacturers that we like cheap stuff that doesn't last, and they oblige. Consumers want something tiny? Manufacturers oblige and it's hard to repair. Want a faster connection port? Sorry, but old ones now have to become obsolete. Sorry consumer but it's your fault.

It's consumers you should thank for this so called "planned obsolescence". They kept buying cheaper and cheaper goods at Kmart, signalling to manufacturers to keep cutting corners and you eventually get cheap crap which doesn't last. Or you can still buy expensive stuff made to last, just no-one does so market is tiny.
