That and there have been companies that had good product, but then got bought out. Only afterwards, they reduce product quality to the point of being some of the worst on the market.
These vulture capitalists are hoping that the brand recognition of what was once a good product keeps the company afloat long enough for them to rot away and consume the company from the inside.
Prime example: Craftsman hand tools.
When I was a kid, everyone had them. Worked well, lifetime warranty, yet much less expensive than professional tools
Last decade: cheap crap, work poorly, fall apart, essentially no warranty. Poor reputation: do not buy regardless of any sale. Yet more expensive after inflation
Fucking A. Printers back in the days used to just print and had refillable ink cartridges. Some expensive ones are still chugging. My dad has one from the 90s that still fucking works. The new one we got cries about colour missing when trying to print a black n white page 😩
