Why are appliances shit nowadays >:( i bought a house with 20-30 year old appliances that work fine, but decided to start upgrading so I bought a new washer and dryer. The new machines dont work nearly as well and I know they're not going to last even 10 years. We're already having issues with them 4 months later.

they are often "cheaper" then what you would have paid in the 80s and they are built to that price
they are more efficient, which means every thing has tighter tolerances and thus more likely to break
they are more complicated due to the above which means more to break
with the above efficiently they use way less water but in my experience that means they clean worse
