I’m putting this in chat and not in Technology because I’m also wondering about things like clothes, appliances—basically any sort of consumer product, virtual or physical, you can think of that you feel has retained some standard of quality and has not yet been enshittified. I would start by saying that Wikipedia has not yet been enshittified, but perhaps you disagree? Post is inspired by this video.

EDIT: coyotino correctly points out that Wikipedia isn’t a product but a service; poor word choice on my part, just trying to cast a wide a net as possible here in the hopes of making a list of “things that are still good that don’t suck.” Like I said, a wide net 🙂.

    Disagree on Vornado.

    I have bought around ten of their fans in total since 2018. Larges, mediums, smalls. 9/10 of them are rattly, half-plastic pieces of shit. I refuse to give any more money to them.

    Maybe you have an older model? Go buy one of their current fans. I call it a “trash-gamble”, 50% chance of rattling fan right away, 90% chance it will rattle within the year.
