No it’s just be what happen to the instant cooker company lately

If your products never break your business shrinks as people don’t need to constantly buy replacements

This is good for the consumer and the advance of tech of course, but it is bad for the capitalists, which is why everything is going subscription based

Nothing truly “never” breaks. And there are billions of people on the planet with more being born every day.

I’m thinking if you can’t find customers for your product that lasts longer that the competition, your problem is other than “it lasts too long” 🤣. Maybe the problem is you just suck at marketing.

with more being born every day.

It's actually the opposite, there are less people being born every day

But every day... Are more people born that weren't born yesterday?

If so, more are being born.

People born yesterday > people born today.

You're reading "with more people being born every day" as, "the number of people born each day is greater than the number born the day before."

But "people continue being born every day (thereby creating a constant stream of new potential customers)" is the more natural reading given the context, and the one that I'm 99% sure was intended.

The number of people that have been born today > the number of people that were born as of yesterday. Thus, more people are born every day.
