Every time this discourse comes up, I'll reskeet this video. If you're willing to pay the *inflation-adjusted* equivalent of the "high quality old thing," you can find something similar today! But if you're looking at nominal prices, of course it'll seem worse made.

The takeaway: you can still buy the quality you used to, you just need to pay the inflation-adjusted price of what it "used to" cost (eg, something that was $30 would now be $100, and the $100 thing will be as good as the old one). However, there are now cheaper options, which *are* lower quality.

That is how you lead. You don’t call yourself a leader. You’re a leader when you go in a direction that others admire and want to follow.
