- bredren 6y agoAn even sneakier trick is changes to product models without changing the model name. I’ve seen Camelbak use cheaper parts on the “same” backpack, for example. This happens on Amazon a lot, you see reviews saying “I bought this three years ago it was great, new one uses cheap xyz.” I think you largely are going to see every business, Amazon merchants, brands, etc get away with whatever they can to cut costs, so long as it doesn’t have widespread effect on brand perception.
- bentcorner 6y agoI've seen this a lot with clothing/footwear. Things like logos that used to be stiched on are now printed, material type will change, etc. Some of these don't really matter (like logos) but are easily noticed and indicative of design changes you don't see.
