The Brand Ledger

“Doing hero’s work describing how and why (it’s not your imagination) things are worse now”

“"Brands whose quality, ownership structure, and stewardship check out. Still worth buying." - I love this list. I am so tired of buying things that break in a year or two.”

“Tracking the brands that got worse on purpose — and the ones that didn't. The Brand Ledger tracks 345 brands, from the tools in your garage to the pans in your kitchen. Who owns them, what they used to be, whether they're still worth buying. Updated as things change.”

“I love benefitting off of other people’s obsessive research, especially if it means less waste (buy nice or buy twice) and supporting better companies”

“I love tools like this. Some of the brands here were shockers”

“A thoroughly-researched roundup of enshittification”
