Reply to comment by [deleted] in When did this sub go from advice and talks of quality to survivors bias posts? Is there a sub that better matches how this was years ago? by xSympl

You're right, but it's crazy to think that an unconditional warranty has NO bearing on product quality, everyone would offer unconditional warranties if so.

I'm sorry but this is an anecdote, the original commenter said that warranties were ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY a marketing ploy, and I am saying only that in some cases the warranty is offered because the company believes the product will last and will back that up. I have had my otterbox replaced because of dog damage, which is the only thing that managed to damage this case in the 4 years I have had it.

I would hate to work where you worked, and I dont think it represents the purchasing behaviour of this sub. The WHOLE POINT of this sub is to sus out the products you can buy today that stand up to wear and scrutiny. A good starting point is products with unconditional warranty, then the court of public opinion can also weigh in.

Dude all I'm saying is that it CAN indicate quality, that's it.

You're the only one having meaningless emotions in these comments chief lol. Neither of us have done correlational studies on warranties and quality/durability so this is bound to go on forever, I'm down if you're down ;)
