Why YSK: If you bought something from any of these brands lately and thought "this feels cheaper than it used to," you're not imagining it. The brand you trusted doesn't make anything anymore. It's a logo stapled to a royalty agreement. The company is called Authentic Brands Group. Their playbook is to wait for a beloved brand to hit financial trouble. Buy the intellectual property. The name, the logo, the trademarks. Strip out the designers, the factory workers, the quality control. Then license the brand name to third-party companies who actually make and sell everything. ABG just collects royalty checks. Their own IPO filing admitted it: "We generally do not design or manufacture the products associated with our brands and therefore have more limited control over such products' quality". They call themselves "brand guardians." What they guard is the trademark. Not the stitching, the materials, or the people who made the thing worth buying in the first place. Here's what happens after ABG "saves" a brand. Brooks Brothers was founded in 1818 and dressed 40 presidents. ABG bought it out of bankruptcy in 2020 and launched a cheap diffusion line at Macy's that reviewers called "a little bit shabby." Eddie Bauer was bought by ABG in 2021. Just filed its third bankruptcy in February 2026. All 174 stores closing. Forever 21 was bought out of bankruptcy in 2020 and went bankrupt again in 2025. Lost over $400 million in three years. ABG's own CEO called buying it "probably the biggest mistake I made". All 350 U.S. stores gone. ABG doesn't need the stores to survive. When an operating partner goes bankrupt, ABG still owns the brand. They just find another licensee. The workers lose their jobs. ABG loses nothing. And ABG isn't the only company doing this. Here's who owns what so you can make informed choices: Authentic Brands Group: Aéropostale, Arrow, Barneys New York, Billabong, Brooks Brothers, Champion, DC Shoes, Dockers, Eddie Bauer, Element, Forever 21, Frederick's of Hollywood, Frye, Greg Norman, Guess (pending), Hunter Boots, Izod, Jones New York, Juicy Couture, Lucky Brand, Nautica, Nine West, Prince, Quiksilver, Reebok, Rockport, Roxy, RVCA, Sperry, Spyder, Tapout, Ted Baker, Van Heusen, Vince, Volcom WHP Global: Toys "R" Us, Babies "R" Us, Rag & Bone, Vera Wang, G-Star, Express, Bonobos, Joe's Jeans, Anne Klein, Joseph Abboud, Isaac Mizrahi, Warners, Lotto, Lands' End Marquee Brands: Martha Stewart, Laura Ashley, Sur La Table, Emeril Lagasse, America's Test Kitchen, BCBGMAXAZRIA, BCBG, Ben Sherman, Bruno Magli, Anti Social Social Club, Totes, Isotoner, Destination Maternity, Motherhood, A Pea in the Pod, Stance, Dakine, Body Glove Same playbook everywhere. Buy the name. Gut the product. Collect the rent. Edit: This blew up way more than expected. A few of you have DMed asking where I get this information. I write about corporate enshittification here, if you're interested. It's free. No promo. submitted by /u/sappk to r/YouShouldKnow [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/Ok-Disk-5109 AITA for telling my girlfriend the way she talks about her car is weird and embarrassing? Originally posted to r/AmItheAsshole Original Post Sept 7, 2022 I’ve (25) been dating my gf (23) for about 9 months now. When she turned 21, her parents gave her a car, and she decided to name it Angie. I learned all this on our first date, when she said “Angie took me here.” I thought that was odd but let it slide. Throughout our relationship, she’s always talked about her car as if she’s talking about another person. When she got a flat tire on the highway a few months back, she called me and said that “Angie’s shoe broke and has to get a new one.” When she goes to the car wash she describes it as “giving Angie a bath.” This all came to a head this weekend, when me and my friends went out drinking, and my gf offered to be the designated driver. We were out for a couple hours and I admittedly got a bit too drunk. When my gf came to pick us up, she said she’s stopping at the gas station first “to get Angie something to drink.” This is where I may be the a-hole. I told her I think it’s weird and embarrassing of her to talk about her car like that. It’s a machine, not a pet or a kid, and that she should treat it like how a normal person would treat any machine. She got very quiet and refused to say anything for the rest of the drive home. She dropped off my friends, and then drove to my apartment. I asked her why we weren’t going back to hers, and she said she needed some time to think and told me to get out. She’s been radio silent since then and I’m starting to think I did something wrong. AITA for what I said? VERDICT: ASSHOLE RELEVANT COMMENTS lihzee YTA. Jeez, just let your girlfriend enjoy her relationship with Angie. Are you jealous? How was she hurting anyone by being a bit silly when referring to her car? OOP I’m not jealous and she wasn’t hurting anyone I just think it’s weird and I should’ve told her before ~ Downvoted Commenter I do think it's amazingly cringeworthy to refer to your car by name and talking about if you're doing stuff with them. I mean at least just say "I'm going to the car wash with angie" instead " giving her a bath/drink", because the latter causes confusion to anyone but the person refering to items that way. You shouldn't have snapped at her in front of others though while she was doing you all a favor. OOP Yeah I get that now that was rude of me. I should’ve told her it’s cringeworthy before lihzee Get over yourself. It’s “cringeworthy” that you felt the need to drunkenly call your girlfriend out in front of others, then still expected her to bring you back to her place. ~ Downvoter Comment 2 Firstly, I feel like all the comments are completely missing the point that it's not the naming of the car, it's that she acts like it's an actual person - constantly. It feels like it's less of a fun quirk and more of a delusion. Secondly, YTA for bringing it up in front of a group of your friends while she was helping you. Ok-Disk-5109 Thank you bro. I don’t mind the naming I just think it’s weird when she says she’s giving her a bath or getting her something to drink, especially in front of my friends sleepyelle651 You and your friends aren't that important. Don't worry about it though, sounds like you've been dumped ~ Pass_The_P0pcorn I asked Sasha since she’s my car & would have a better perspective on this. She said YTA. Sasha also said cars need gas because they’re hungry, not thirsty. She thought it was important for everyone to know. nerdpower13 My van, Vanna White, also agrees. OP YTA, let people enjoy things. Your girlfriend talking about her car that way doesn't hurt you or anyone else. It's just a fun thing she likes to do. Stop being so boring. MiniatureAppendix My car Bertha agrees. She’s 15 years old and on her last legs, and I frequently give her a pat to the hood or steering wheel and say, “Good job, girl. Hold in there just a little longer for me.” Is it stupid? Sure. Does it hurt anyone? No. YTA. ~ askingxalice Just to clarify: --Your GF supported you going out drinking with your friends. --She was driving your drunk asses home. --She didn't ask for gas money when stopping at a gas station. And to thank her for all of these wonderful things, you called her weird in front of your friends and said she shouldn't do what makes her happy. You're a dumped asshole. OOP updated the post the Next Day (Sept 8, 2022) Update: well she dumped me. She found the post, called me and told me never to speak to her again. I guess it’s for the best though, we really wouldn’t have been that compatible, as many of you have said. Thank you for your judgements. THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT THE OOP DO NOT CONTACT THE OOP's OR COMMENT ON LINKED POSTS, REMEMBER - RULE 7 submitted by /u/Direct-Caterpillar77 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]
