Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

Industries are making bad products on purpose to weed out consumers with standards, therefore breeding a crop of consumers that exist only to give their money to them if they ask.

    That is exactly why Shein and Temu exist as far as I can tell.

    I have no clue what temu even is, like what is it and how is it different than other sites?

    Yeah, it's stuff that shitty shops like Woolworths used to sell for £9.99 but it's £1 with postage included now and straight from the source.

    You can get some total rubbish and you can get some generically shit stuff that's as good as anything else in the shops, there's great stuff too compared to other options but it's hard to find.

    Quality is generally better for things designed for the Chinese market, they just sell overstock cheap where as the made for export is made to be cheap.

    Really quality isn't a huge issue in manufacturing for a lot of things because everything is well within basic tolerances of the machines, is it's just a few bits of plastic and a PCB then they're going to come out the same from anywhere

    Can you clarify a bit?

    Do you mean that they are trying to identify, corral, and market heavily to these low-standards consumers so as not to waste their time with the rest (analogous to email scams)?

    Or more that they are progressively beating down our collective level of standard so as to make the cheap crap more broadly palatable?

    I don't necessarily disagree with either, but they are pretty different, so just curious which direction you are going.
