Once again, the theory that anything being shilled by multiple YouTubers at once is a scam is proven correct.
I wonder what skeletons Factor have in their closet.
Hello Fresh bought Factor didn't they? Same company. Like Honey is PayPal.
Apparently they did.
I have this idea that I'm pretty devout about, and it pisses off a lot of people for some reason, but I firmly believe that good products don't need salesmen. Only bad and unnecessary products need someone to convince you to buy them, good products sell themselves.
Nah, you can't sell a product if nobody knows about it.
I agree that a good product will be marketed through word of mouth, but that takes years to build, and people have to actually buy the product in the first place.
Then you don't need it. We live in the digital age, now more than ever if there's a truly great product your friends and family are going to let you know pretty quick. Anything else is manufactured necessity.
It depends on the product. How often do your friends and family tell you about their new toothbrush?
Relatively mundane items just aren't talked about all that much.
Wait, hold on, I want a real example, because that toothbrush analogy isn't good. Everyone learns about them as children, we don't hear about new ones from friends because of what I've already said, it's not necessary, and also, your dentist will most certainly tell you about the new dental tech out there when you visit if it's truly some revolution in the way we clean our mouths. So can you come up with some product you needed in your life that had to be advertised to you because you wouldn't have known about it otherwise?
Yeah, because I visit the dentist all the time...
I'm not getting into an argument over a point you made in the first place, I don't care enough about your opinion.
Likewise.
Yeah I avoided factor simply because they were advertising it so hard.
Then a coworker got some and they actually looked really good and my girlfriend talked me into it because we discontinued home chef or hellofresh or whatever the fuck it was due to us not wanting to take 45 minutes to cook only 2 servings every day.
First meals haven't arrived yet. I will not report back. Assume factor killed me and turned me into fresh meals.
I just got my first factor meals today. Just had a baby. Really nice not to have to cook and can focus on other things. Food is good and nutrient rich.
What makes Factor different than any other TV dinner/frozen meal?
Probably not much but factor delivers to my door and going to the store is hard right now.
That... Reads like an ad, lol.
