Nobody here has noticed (or I haven't seen a comment) but these kinds of things implicitly feel like being mentioned is some form of recommendation.

But there are times where things are used as a comparison.

For example; r/buyitforlife's second most mentioned brand is Ikea: https://looria.com/reddit/BuyItForLife

I don't think there are many here who would agree that IKEA furniture is designed for life, far from it.
