I've noticed that the fashion industry is just rife with linkrot, and they spoil very quickly. If you're looking at a forum post from longer than 3 months ago chances are links to specific products will instead redirect to the store's front page or a 404.

Is there a benefit to this? I am mostly just frustrated.

Redirecting to the front-page is SEO-BS. It's supposed to help your domain reputation, but I find it honestly obnoxious compared to a standard 404.
