    But education often comes only with time

    Like how do I get good at buying things are supposed to last decades?

      I think they mean societal education. Like the pipelines for educating people about these scams will develop as people get fed up with being taken advantage of.

      As for personal education, that would probably happen the first time your $1000 couch starts off gassing a chemical that smells like cat urine after being exposed to a spilled glass of water, or the cushions pop open after someone sits down to hard.

        Eduction is one way of putting it. Another one would be that people knowing other people and what they do could be construed as a commons that is essential to capitalist exchange. And that the destruction of that commons (or its pollution with pseudo internet information) is making products worse.

      It doesn't matter anyways, because the trusted brand with good reviews uses cheaper materials like everyone else.
