Why do I feel like I've just read a covert advertisement?
This might be a controversial opinion, but I for one, like to eat food. In fact I even do it 3 times a day.
Don't yall have a culture that's passed down to you through food? Family recipes? Isn't eating food a central aspect of socialization? Isn't socialization the reason people wanted to go to the office in the firt place?
Maybe I'm biased. I love going out to eat, and I love cooking. But its more than that. I garden. I go to the farmers market. I go to food festivals.
Food is such an integral part of the human experience for me, that I can't imagine "cutting it out". And for what? So you can have more time to stare at the screen you already stare at all day? So you can look at 2% more lines of javascript?
When I first saw commercials for that product, I truly thought it was like a medical/therapeutic thing, for people that have trauma with food. I admit, the food equivalent of an i.v. drip does seem useful for people that legitimately can't eat.
90% of meals aren't some special occasion, but I still need to eat. Why not make it easy? Then go explore and try new things every now and then
Treating food as entertainment is how the west has gotten so unhealthy
This said, I know people that food is a grudging necessity they'd rather do without.
At the end of the day there's a lot of different kinds of people out there.
I was really busy with my master's degree, ok? :D
I think I've seen an adtech company use AI influencers to market whatever product a customer wanted to sell. I got the impression that it initally worked really well, but then people caught on to the fact it was just AI and performance tanked.
I don't actually know whether that was the case but that's the vibe I got from following their landing page over time.
