we talk a lot about enshittification nowadays, but what companies do you think have survived it? or at least haven't actively made their business worse? the ones I'd say off the top of my head without much thought are Costco, Casio and Crocs (accidental alliteration lol)
In-N-Out - they made it perfect then they NEVER fixed what kept on working
Yamaha (audio equipment at least) - never cut corners, made improvements
Panasonic - basically they played if it aint broke dont fix it for manufacturing, kept their quality and performance
Ubiquiti - swore to never ride the subscription train and still upholds this with their latest and greatest
Behrigner- actually an example of the opposite of enshittification over the decades!
BSR System/X10 - unbroken 50 years of compatibility and never changed their prices
whatever contractor makes most (mini sized)incandescent christmas lights (specifically those with a rectangular shaped stacking plug, not round stack)-durability/build quality has actually improved, even upsizing copper and prices have stayed insanely low
EPSON - keeps old hardware usable, and completely ignores riding the enshittification of the rest of the market
LOR - reverse enshittification, making their entry level software from paid to completely free and introducing a refurb shop with even lower hardware prices
ETC - keeps innovating while not leaving their existing lineup behind and provides support for some decades old hardware
mcdonald’s tbh
in the us the standards have (probably) remained low but worldwide (like in india) its good
affinity
True hopefully the new free model doesn’t result in enshittification
