This happens in other industries as well. Mass-market beer comes to mind. The solution, as I see it, starts with owners demanding long term stability in earnings; and a broader quality over quantity philosophy spreading generally.
- ghaff 5y agoThis would horrify some friends. But mass market beer is a very predictable and relatively inexpensive product that 95% or whatever of the market likes. I do not and am grateful there are so many alternatives that didn’t exist a few decades ago. But it’s not a low quality just because us beer at least somewhat snobs prefer something different.
- FredPret 5y agoNo, I mean that they started out with a product and gradually watered it down, as it were. The ingredients being used have changed over the years from natural plants and water into powders and potions that are... chemically similar. The product can still be legally called beer, but it is not the same anymore.
