And yet i haven't had those problems. If your plugs fall out then the springs in your outlet are old, get a nee outlet.

That confirms the shitty design. Decent outlets don't require springs to keep plugs from falling out.

the springs are also how the metal make contact. something has to hold them in place and make contact.

Plus don’t just go for the cheapest ones. The ones I’ve seen like this are cheap outlets made in the 70s, so a combination of old and crappy, but older outlets can be more sturdy and non-crappy modern ones appear sturdy
