Wish I could restrictively get credit/points for all of the 💰 I've spent up until now 🤣
But either way, it's a nice add-on even if I wasn't really pining for it personally.
What they were answering

you explaining your full thought process regarding business decisions to your customers is super smart. i was just thinking yesterday how the secretive nature of most organizations is increasingly counterproductive. the extremely secretive nature used to help luxury brands sell their products at crazy premiums, but now, due to chinese tiktok supplier ads, everyone is increasingly demanding much more information from businesses. being very open increases trust.
on another note - tiktok is totally a national security threat. crazy how they were able to flip the entire luxury market on it's head in such a short amount of time.

Yeah, it's better if people just understand our logic and what we are dealing with, so they can understand why we make certain decisions. Most of the time things are not readily apparent to customers. Most businesses don't talk about details like that publicly, so people just come to their own conclusions and build their own narratives with the info they have. I would rather people understand what we are seeing and dealing with, then make their conclusions on the facts rather than conjecture. The real problem is that many brands are selling absolute shit quality products, with very little per-unit cost, and have no overhead for science operations like we do. They set pricing and do discounts that are just not economically feasible for brands like us, setting consumer expectations at a level that just can't be met by people doing it the right way. It's hard to explain all that to consumers, if you even get the chance to.
