I spent 3 hours writing this message ... that is, I started 3 hours ago, paused that immediately, then went and did other things for 2:59:30hrs, finally I came back and finished typing this textual masterpiece.

She's a successful inventor & youtuber, good on her. the product is not bad actually, a great impulse buy (gifting), just not for me.

This is a very critical reply, and for what? Throwing "just not for me" at the end doesn't negate the 95% of the message that's unnecessarily harsh.

by your logic, ending your reply with "unnecessarily harsh" means your message was "unnecessarily harsh" if I didn't agree with some of the preceding sentences? such as your fictitious stats "95% of the message".

it's not for me means that I wouldn't buy the product or invest/fund it, but i saw potential in two market segments "impulse buying" and "gifting". my message was mixed and clearly stated that - usually businesses/inventors/makers like mixed feedback.

all the best.
