The process in which a manufacturer continues to degrade a product (such as a computer, program, or operating system) with the intentions of increasing the value of older versions of the product after a certain period of time, in order to fuck with newer consumers who don’t know any better. It has both advantages and disadvantages for the producer where less effort is required but it results in lower consumer satisfaction for long term customers; as well as for the consumer where an understanding of how the product works is easier as there is objectively less product, but the product is less powerful than previous versions.
