After a breakup I pretty much delete all photos, emails and other messages. There is no need for them to exist and remind me of a connection that no longer exists


Traditional cars are owned on average for 6 years.

And maintenance is definitely required along the way and will just keep climbing


> Traditional cars are owned on average for 6 years.

I have no clue about such statistics, but in any case they don't mean the car itself becomes useless after that period.

> And maintenance is definitely required

Yes but that's an entirely reasonable cost, at least compared to new cars. Even if you need to change significant parts of your car every few years (which is usually not the case), it would cost you a few thousand euros at most. A budget of, let's say 1000€/year maintenance (high estimate) is still an order of magnitude cheaper than buying a new car (20-100k€). That 1000€ yearly budget estimate is a very high estimate which accounts for expensive parts to change at most once every decade.

Of course, many people who buy second-hand cars will just buy another second-hand car for 100-1000€ instead of changing expensive/hard-to-reach parts for over 1000€. It all depends on how easy finding the parts are, and whether you or a person close to you has the equipment and knowledge to change the part for free (or in exchange for other services).

Hi @nfty-labs


Maybe I've been watching too much scam fighting on YouTube ala coffeezilla and a few other people. But the term "masterclass" alone on a product is a huge red flag immediately to me.

Does anyone sell a product as a masterclass that is legitimate?


They don't sell anything as "masterclass" nor is the term used anywhere regarding their product.

They sell an email service.

What the parent meant was that the launch of their service was a "masterclass in marketing" -- ie. they promoted it very well.


Not sure if I understand you correctly, but yes I think that the marketing campaign should never ever eclipse the product in itself. That’s how I felt when they launched it. From a product marketer point of view it was great. But from the product manager perspective I felt disappointed.


Facebook has done it essentially already with their donations
