Doing the math, the jeering & dickish behavior happened more than two years ago.
Unfortunately, it continues to this day. We have commmented on this more than once.
Good for you for noticing.

@panasonicvac The next major thing to happen will be the TR series quietly go away and the TC series, or at least new models with their "classic clean" internals, will be brought back.
@gelaundry4ever thank you
@rapunzel then you want the TC5. The TR series are the ones we're complaining about whose tub and agitator slowly turn back and forth.

Seriously!
What were they thinking? Do they think we're stupid?

No, I like neither machine. I want the options of the the TR7 with the transmission of the TC5...either of the current iterations are not satisfactory in their own right.
In my view SQ was a premium product before 2017 or until a bunch of smart-arse engineers and managers ruined a perfectly good product.

Olav, I agree with you 100% with everything you said. If I was forced to have a top loader, I'd want the flexibility/control of a TR7 with the mechanism of a TC5. But given I hate top loaders, that won't be happening.
Olav, I could revise with using word such as disdain, despise, dislike, they're not for my house, can't stand them, I hope I don't ever have another one in my house ... Is that better?
TL Vs FL Home Washers
I would not have either of these TL SQs in my personal laundry room, If I had to have one it would be the TC5000, like our customers I don't want 1 hour+ cycles and do not like a washer with a lid lock, we are selling the TC 5 to 1 over the TR models.
That said I do like a umber of my vintage TL machines, my personal laundry will have Calypso, A FD 1-18, a WP DD Resource Saver, My 1972 Lady Kenmore SS with 750 RPM spin and to round thing things out A FD 1954 Unimatic, a 1952 WP pair.
All of the TL washers except the Calypso are generally used with recycled wash water or I recycle their wash water to another TL machine.
For FL machines a have the 2005 SQ FL washer, A KitchenAid professional SS FL washer, A 1992 WH FL machine with a 24" European sized FL machine installed on top of the WH, and my 1966 LKM Gas combination, my favorite overall machine.

I never really cared for machines with a lid lock. Since all newer machines have a lid or door lock, you have to press the start/pause button and sometimes it will take the machine a good few seconds to unlock the door if you want to add a piece of clothing you forgot or something and Samsung has a add wash feature which is a door that’s just big enough on their front load machines to add something like a pair of socks or a t-shirt but honestly that’s just one more thing to break and wouldn’t be useful for me.

I said this before in another thread
If SQ's TC5 is selling so well, I would imagine that SQ could come out with more classic models like maybe the TC3 and/or the TC7. Actually if SQ does happen to come out with maybe the TC7 similar to the 9 series or at least the 8 series, I think I'd be sold. Personally, I think I would rather have buttons instead of knobs and a electronic timer to have on. And just like with reply #24, I would also want the extra features to have as well.

They could've put ribs
on the TR3, TR5 and TR7 series. Why didn't they do it?

Speed Queen: The Life (and Death) of Internet Commenters’ Favorite Washing Machine
Our appliance writer sought out loyal fans of one of America’s least efficient washing machines and stumbled upon an unexpected controversy.
www.nytimes.com
Speed Queen shot themselves in the foot several times over. Black listing dealers, copy-right striking youtube channels, deleting reviews, making fake reviews, harassing technicians and customers... I don't understand where humans can find such hubris to punish others for their own mistakes.
Speed Queen is (was) the only common sense washer manufacturer left. To see them release three turds and behave like Sears did in the early 2000s is both painful and anger inducing.
Ultimately there needs to some type of revolution. Other facets of life are improving, but appliances keep worsening into an ever costlier clown show.

@Laundress: The sad part is that none of us work in the industry. You seriously think these corporations have the brains and talent that we do? Of course not! The bosses only want to sell fantasies viewing the public as gullible glitz seeking baboons, the engineers trying to put a passionless imagination killing degree to work thinking about when the day will finally come to a close. Nothing is coming from the heart. Nothing from the imagination. Nothing from joy. The owner of this site can literally program cycles better than Whirlpool around his understanding of vertical laundry physics, yet guess what. He isn't making millions at their headquarters. Its the system thats broken. Talent and passion is outside the industry being condemned, not inside it nourished to the point it can play. I mean how old were most of the people here who actually started paying attention to appliances? 3? 4? 5? Talent doesn't come out of the education system or college, people are born with it.
Yes there is Pulsator, but he is still in a minority class. And I'm sure even at his job his brain is locked in a cage.
IF I could get members here into independent start up companies or Whirlpool/GE/Electrolux (after their internal structure is demolished then rebuilt) I would do it without thinking.

Sad thing is they will never make washers like they did decades ago and gullible people who fall for the “technology” complain their new washer isn’t working like their old one and insist on the newest washer since it has the newest “technology” and will still complain it isn’t working properly and it just repeats itself over and over. You can only push technology so far before you end up with a piece of junk that doesn’t work at all.
