      I have a theory that shitty products fundamentaly out-compete good products today because its way cheaper to market your product as good than to actually develop it well. I call it the craptocracy

        Someone needs to create a business that bails out/buys excellent quality products and produces them in a small enough scale that only new owners will need.

        Consider it an excellent achievement for a product to make it here. Only the best buy it for life products.

            And the concept of infinite growth.

            Financially, if your company is not expanding an increasing amount quarter on quarter on quarter, it’s considered to be failing.

            And yet, nothing can grow forever. At some point, all things must come to an end. It’s an unrealistic pipe dream.

            Say that the Instant Pot is so good that everyone has ten of them. Where would they grow from there?

      Because it is made redundant by literally everything else that is already in your kitchen. You can’t name one thing this appliance does that a pressure cooker, stove/oven and crock pot don’t already do.

      It also doesn’t replace any of those other devices so unless you’re a college dorm resident it’s just another massive thing on your counter for basically no value or reason
