Why Do Capacitors Fail (Actually, Why Do Capacitors Suck!)

Why Capacitors Fail is a video describing why they breakdown so much quicker than in years past. All capacitors fail due to the heat inside of them. The quality of the capacitors that companies worldwide are installing seem to be inferior to those made decades ago. Wondering how long do capacitors last sort of goes along with that whole “designed obsolescence” theory where companies are supposedly doing this on purpose so customers will have to buy their next run capacitor sooner. It seems like that for a lot of products these days, right?
