Anyone remember the story about light bulbs? How they’d last almost forever, but it was secretly decided that this is bad, as customers would never need to buy a new one, so they intentionally made them worse.
WTF are you smoking? I think I’ve replaced 1 led bulb since switching to them 10 years ago.
As far as I know he’s talking about the old filament bulbs. And it’s actually a myth or at least a bad example of planned obsolescence. It is possible to make a light bulb that lasts virtually forever, but they would be expensive. It was a compromise between lifetime and production costs.
And where do you get those led bulbs? Mine break all the time…

LOL maybe they are talking about LED bulbs then and I just bought mine before they went to shit.

It’s called planned obsolescence and is a well known aspect of modern product design, no conspiracies required.
