>>2445869>>2445834i think, initially, like many crappy companies using crappy material to make their products, it started off as a way to produce at a lesser cost, but then they realized "hey, this cheap material is costing us less, and we are banking in more than we were when we were making them out of that finer, more expensive material, and its all because our stuff wears out faster, and stupid people keep buying them. lets continue to profit from this scheme. all we have to do is make them LOOK expensive, and these suckers will buy right into it. HAHAHAHAHAHA IDIOTS."
all you can do is invest in higher end brands, to ensure you dont get ripped off.
