Unfortunately, so many people don't do 5 seconds of research unless you count "I've seen basically every youtuber that 3d prints talking about how awesome this one is" as research. I wish more people would see that a company being a sponsor everywhere or a product being advertised A LOT is a huge red flag and probably not where you should spend your money. I'm basically at the point that I don't trust anything I see ads for at all - oh, you are wasting a ton of money on advertising? Your product is either markedly worse than the competition who isn't wasting that money, or you have the same product and are way more expensive. Either way, that's bad. permalink fedilink source parent
