Note, before the peloton I bought a Concept 2 rower. I used it routinely for a few months, then periodically, and then not at all. I still have it and going to try to use it again in conjunction with the peloton rowing classes now that they’re available in the app.
If usage of something new goes up, peaks, and then heads down to 1/2 or 1/4 of the previous peak, what would you call that?
It grew from nothing to be a super-popular recreational activity for a numbber of years, and now you rarely see someone on inline skates.
Doesn't mean it goes to 0, but it had a moment - and it is past.
I assume while frisbees are still around, they're also seemingly much less ubiquitous than they were.
In fairness, I'm not really sure frisbees are a fad. They've gone through peaks and valleys of popularity but they've generally stayed around in some form.
The executives made 100's of millions in profits off of a fad. They did an amazing job. Some of it's just dumb luck with the lockdowns, but either way, they made something out of nothing.
