The problem is that almost all electronics available online (not just on Amazon) are rebranded Chinese bargain bin garbage marked up by 10x and people think “it must be good because it’s expensive”.

Really your only option is to either accept that everything is disposable and will need to be replaced frequently, or to find the “good” brands and stick to them.

That last part is by design… it’s why a lot of this shit is perpetuated by the same parent company under a different name, to create a “hostile environment” to make it so you can’t shop around for cheaper prices.
