The first time I ran into this was years ago. There was a make/model of headphones that I loved. They became increasingly hard to find but Amazon always had them. Over time I noticed they were wearing out faster and faster, so I kept buying replacements.I looked into it one day only to find the manufacturer had stopped making the product 2 years prior, and go figure reviews nose dived shortly afterwards and many had descriptions of how to spot the fakes. Guess what I'd been buying?
There have been some other products where this worked in my favor. I knew for a fact that something I bought over and over again (things you have multiple of and are expected to wear out over time). Manufacturer stopped making them, Amazon claims to still be selling them 10 years later, there's not a noticeable drop-off in quality so what the heck, I'll keep buying them.
