I actually have the Mzoo sleep mask he mentioned and I quite like it.
Wirecutter recommends it and Reddit seems to agree.
Doesn't negate the article, but just clarifying for anyone in the market who thinks it's a lemon.

Both are satisfied to have found good products, and somewhat surprised, at least tacitly acknowledging by even finding it worth commenting, that the productscape overall is basically a sea of lemons.
Cool
I can click on the profiles, and see "created 2009 or 2014", and think "OK this is probably a real person"
Whereas if this were Reddit or Instagram, and the account was created recently, I might think "that's AI spam".
So yeah someone has to do real work to create spaces that are not lemon markets. I guess people who have experienced that have coined "Dead Internet Theory"
(Although ironically, I would trust HN more on non-tech stuff like sleep masks, than I do on tech stuff. The tech stuff does have a bias towards what CEOs/investors think, although plenty of opposing opinions get voiced as well)
Unclear if this is actually a good heuristic.
Has anyone bought the third brand to round out the discussion?
One of our recommended products is made by a brand called DIWANGUS, which always gets a giggle. But they're good!
