I get it - there are brands that are well-known for being brands (i.e. famous for being famous) and there are brands that are well-known for making legitimately good products.
Avoid the former like the plague, but the latter is one of the best methods to find legitimately great stuff.
- ericmay 2y agoAbsolutely. I actually keep and maintain extensive lists of businesses that produce "real stuff" that we only buy from for those item categories.
- sorcerer-mar 2y agoDo you publish these anywhere? Very into good products and as you know they’re hard to find haha
- ericmay 2y agoI haven't yet - I want to but honestly just haven't had any good ideas on how to do so. I could just create a website and maintain it for other people I guess? If you have any recommendations or ideas I'd be happy to collaborate! Doesn't need to be something that makes money, though hopefully something that doesn't cost money either! Lol
- mrguyorama 2y agoExcept there is an entire business strategy that has been consistently deployed in extracting that brand value by making the product shittier and just waiting for sales to slow as people figure it out. Craftsman for example.
