Help me out here, I really never got wash.io or rinse or any of those services. I'm assuming the target audience was millenials who have never stepped foot inside a dry cleaner and realized that many of them offer "pick up, wash & fold" services. No fancy app I'm sure but the core of the service existed. The comparisons made to "Uber" were not applicable in my opinion because there wasn't some type of laundry cartel controlling laundry medallions resulting in poor laundry services at high prices. Anyways, I'll go back to washing and folding my own laundry which provides some zen time in an otherwise hectic day.
I've dated millenials that have never done their own laundry.
Yeah... it seems to me like the world might be well served to give people with more pressing or interesting problems access to more tools and means to try to solve them.
I feel the same way about advertising.
It makes me sad that some of the smartest people in the world are at Google and FB getting people to click ads.
