American water heater repairman says he’s noticed the average new water heaters last only about 7-10 years and then they must be replaced
But when he comes across old ones like this one from 1956, they last forever
This is because of a business model called Planned Obsolescence and it’s a business strategy companies now use to engineer produces to fail after a certain among of time
This way you have to keep buying the same product over and over again
This is a scam
