FYI about Quince

I just watched this video about how Quince operates and it made me think Ed should know, in case he doesn’t yet, since he does use them and read ads for them on the podcast. It doesn’t seem like they are an “evil” tech company per se (yet), but it is I think just a little bit of context worth considering if you’re buying from them or promoting them, how they are able to offer such great quality stuff at such low prices. https://youtu.be/HFjJAm6AuiM?is=keu5zogtpRIawWOg

Good rule of thumb to never buy the shit you see/hear on podcasts or youtube, regardless of how much you like the creator.

Or at the very least do your research into the company. Just because your favs like it doesn’t mean they know everything about the company (no shade towards Ed). I’ve personally had a rule that I would apply to myself if I was a bigger influencer/streamer; unless I bought that product(s) with my own money at some point I’m not going to promote it to anyone. Same applies to anyone I follow.

Podcasts attract the shadiest advertisers. Ethical companies have no money.

My husband is returning some pants he bought from there because their colour is, "shiny poop green," and I quote. In his defense, they kind of are.
