People Are Sharing Examples Of “They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To”, Here Are 50 Of The Best

The nature of e-commerce, which is projected to reach almost US$6,5bn by 2029, means that consumers oftentimes can determine the quality of their purchase only after they receive the order. And the results aren't always great.

So Reddit user Flaky_Show6239 decided to stir up some nostalgia and asked everyone on the platform to list the products and services they believe were better in the past than they are now.

From fast food to clothing, home appliances, and beyond, continue scrolling to check out the entries that have been mentioned the most.

People Are Sharing Examples Of "They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To", Here Are 50 Of The Best Refrigerators. Washing machines. Hell, any major appliances. Planned obsolescence is built in, so you’re spending the same amount of money, but getting a shittier, more unreliable product that will only last you 2 or 3 years. Because. Because corporate greed, and because corporate dickheads don’t give a f**k about you or the f*****g planet.

People Are Sharing Examples Of "They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To", Here Are 50 Of The Best Search engines: sure, they were wonky and unreliable in the wild west internet era (e.g. HotBot, Lycos, Webcrawler), but Google came along and revolutionized everything. Peak search engine reliability was probably in the mid-2010s, and it's been in a steep decline since then. Nowadays when I search for anything on Google, it omits random key words of mine, gives me irrelevant AI-generated answers, shows me Pinterest images, and pulls up irrelevant PDF files from things I distinctly did not search for.

YouTube search is complete garbage too. After searching for a video, it'll show me three results followed by "people also watched" and "finish watching", then a bunch of irrelevant Shorts and Jimmy Kimmel videos for whatever the f**k reason.

People Are Sharing Examples Of "They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To", Here Are 50 Of The Best Pyrex. The old stuff was borosilicate glass, highly resistant to heat stress and therefore great in the kitchen. The new stuff is tempered soda lime glass, which is stronger if you drop it, but can just shatter unexpectedly under certain heat-related circumstances, such as putting a cold Pyrex dish in the oven or a hot one under tap water, which were things you could usually do with old Pyrex with no problems.

Looking at older buildings, cathedrals, or even furniture, you can see that carpenters used to spend weeks upon weeks hand carving their masterpieces. Everything had intricate designs based upon the region or century / decade they were in.

Now everything just looks mass produced, flat, symmetrical, and lifeless. Everybody's everything looks like somebody else's something, but back in the day, great-great-great-great grandpa was carving cherubs and filigree into works made out of stone / marble / wood.

Anything accessible to normal working people has become cheaply made and poorly designed I feel. Sure you can still find exceptional quality but I don’t like having to pick between feeding my family and getting something nicer for myself. I have a full time job in a school and I work a second job to pay the bills. I have replaced so many things that are just designed for failure. Coffee makers aren’t that great anymore.

This is the world we asked for, people: cheap goods available at your fingertips. You simply cannot have all three of cheap, durable and high-quality at the same time. Capitalism provides abundance, not quality and most companies abandoned customer satisfaction in favor of shareholder value a long time ago. Combine that with the obscene number of people on this planet and you’ve got what we have.

You get what you pay for. Now there is modern Chinese cheap stuff which is err Cheap! Everyone I know saves and buys quality products that are just as good if not better than the old stuff and lasts for ages cause they are quality and saves tons of dosh over time. A crazy example of this is in my mid 20's I spent (and I know it's a lot) $3500 on a cashmere overcoat. Looked so classy, kept me at the perfect temperature and lasted 15 years until my spaniel decided to eat it. A friend of mine spent $500 a year on new overcoats, they looked s**t and didn't work well yet he game me a hard time for my 'overspend' yet over 15 years he spent over $7500 (more than I did) and always looked a d**k in a coat that wasn't very good.

I'm going to add chocolate. It's hard to find some that doesn't taste like mildly flavored, straight sugar.

Huh, I've switched from using body wash to soap bars (olive based, sometimes with lavender or rosemary) and I love it! I can even use them to get oily stains out of clothes.

Smartphones, I-Phones, computers, laptops, TVs and tablets are all obsolete by the time they're in the shops. Being pressured to buy the latest model all the time is boring and wasteful.

Have had my mobile almost 5 years now (had to replace my old one as it was stolen) and still going strong. Will replace it only when it finally dies a death.
