If a thing works, it works. Then corporations realized that doesn’t work to keep growing like a cancer. Queue: Make the old thing bad (by enshittification) or pour billions into ads saying no, this NEW thing is what you need now!

In Australia, at least in terms of housing - those in the know, tend to want to avoid new builds due to the sheer number of cut corners, sub-par materials and lax regulations.
Homes made in the post-asbestos, pre-2000s are highly coveted as a result.
I myself don’t like new houses either but thats just because I usually dont like the designs ha.
