Brand Harvesting - is this the right word? When a brand builds a reputation for quality and then decides to keep charging the very high quality prices while making the product as fast, cheap, and shoddy as they can.

Does this group warn people about brands that have been bought out by venture capital or inherited by the founder’s worthless kids or acquired by a mega corp? I would like to see a list of brands to warn people about and good before/bad after dates. Things like: yes, this is an amazing toaster IF you find it made before the brand merged with X-Corp in 2006. That kind of thing.

Does this exist already? Do people have examples?
