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!

I think it’s a normal part of human nature that you experience all the time without corpo meddling. Have they exploited that urge for new? sure, just like they exploit every human emotion.
Reminds me of how general motors would paint each yearly relefresh of their cars a specific color so that you could tell if someone had the newest model.
Even that small amount of social pressure did wonders for their bottom line.
Totally… Apple would never make new colors on their products for that reason, noooooo. A tale as old as marketing.
definitely I think the general motors thing happened back when the model T was a thing.
Nah the model T was famous for generally only coming in black

sorry I should have been more clear, it was general motors equivalent to Ford’s model t, I was just using that to establish time frame
