I'm really frustrated because every time I get a new charger, it works great at first, but after just a few months, it just stops working like it decided to give up. Can anyone help me understand what might be causing this? Is it because I'm charging multiple devices with the same charger? Should I be using a specific charger for each device, like only the Nintendo Switch charger for my Switch? I need some insights or at least a few guesses on what's going on!

Your problem could be a mix of using faulty chargers and maybe just bad luck. A few solid, quality chargers should serve you well.
Check if your chargers are overheating. If they run hot, they might fail faster. Make sure there's good ventilation around them and that they're rated for the power you're using them with!
Are you putting pressure on the cables or charging while using the devices? I ruined my charger by doing that; the connection loosened, even though the cable seemed fine.
Using original chargers is sometimes recommended, especially for specific devices like the Nintendo Switch. Cheap chargers can actually harm your devices, so be cautious.
It sounds like you might be buying low-quality chargers. A lot of those cheap brands from online stores don't hold up well over time. Maybe try investing in better brands? They usually last longer.
Right? Plus, if you're experiencing power issues at home, that could also affect how well your chargers work.
