Can you clarify - do you mean hate because it’s paid for marketing and there’s much better products for a similar price,(sort of BIFL maybe?) or hate because the company is anti consumer somehow and there’s a better company or free version?
Like for the first, Kitchen Aid stand mixers. Way overblown because marketing and resting on laurals from 50 years ago when they’re not built like that anymore. Bosch Universal Plus is a much better spend if you want robustness imho.
For the second the obvious is Microsoft, and a community driven Linux as the alternative.
Was explaining that to a customer how things that used to be bad ass but now are shit but expensive as hell because they are using the name and the reputation from 50 years ago to sell the shit.
Like Maytag, and Whirlpool used to be the best brands to buy. Now they are crap won’t last ten years.
