What’s something you were “influenced” into buying (through insta, YouTube, etc.) that was actually worth it?
Also - anything you bought into the hype for that ended up sucking?

Hello Fresh and Keurig - love, love, love

Most electronics /cosmetic “systems” / Zipcar - not worth the hype or hassle - thumbs down

At the end of the day for me it comes down to product quality, with customer service running a close second. I had a problem with my Hello Fresh deliveries not showing up or very late (like 10pm) and their customer service was so superior to anything I’ve experience before, I have to give them a shout-out. First time I got a total $ refund. Immediately. Second time refund as well as they worked with me to research who the local delivery service was and then offered to switch to a different day to get a different carrier. I did and I now have flawless delivery. The whole exchange was less than 10 minutes. Now that was one smart CSR at the other end of the chat window. Loyal fan for life. Contrast to ZipCar where I literally spent 21 minutes on the phone yesterday (not including hold time) to get a replacement card. A replacement card. A transaction that should have taken less than 5 mins. This guy clearly didn’t know what he was doing, it was painful. Not the first bad experience very I’ve had with them on the phone either.

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing.

Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion
