In 1925, light bulb manufacturers could make a bulb that lasted over 3,000 hours. By 1930, the biggest companies in the world had secretly met in Geneva and agreed to cap that lifespan at 1,000.Not because they couldn't do better. Because if the bulb lasted forever, nobody would keep buying.This is planned obsolescence — and it didn't stop with light bulbs.In this episode, Kokeboi breaks down planned vs perceived obsolescence, from the Phoebus Cartel to your iPhone that somehow gets slower every time a new model drops.
