    I was going to say something to that effect. It feels like people are more into the experience of shopping rather than the actual product.

    I’m starting to feel old-school in that I’m happy to pay more (sometimes much more) for a quality product that will last.

    It frustrates me that it’s hard to find answers to questions about products before you buy them and that most information seems to be scammy affiliate links blogs.
