    Are they? Because they want to sell you planned obsolescence dogshit, not quality products that last a lifetime.

      Yes, which is why selling ads on that sub has them so excited. It gives the appearance their product will last forever, without that annoying hassle of actually needing to make their product last forever.

          Technically they never lied, you just wrongfully assumed the advertised product’s quality matched the subreddit name.

      Yeah that’s why I’d say they’re salivating. They want to slip plausible adds into comment sections for their shitty products in a place where people go to buy things long term, thereby sabotaging the very point of BIFL.
