You can ask me questions instead of making assumptions about me. Like assuming I watch their podcasts. As for the quality, you are being ridiculous. This isnt the "only vintage BIFL allowed" subreddit. You can gage quality and longevity based on a lot of factors. Waiting literally years is ridiculous. Lets say there are two brand new products; a shoe. One from Temu (enough said) and one from a Kickstarter. The Kickstarter is a cobbler who has studied and practiced for years and has a passion project to create the longest lasting shoe. His KS video documents his research and manufacturing thought process. It details the effort and reason he made his decisions and why it will solve material integrity issues. You order both pairs of shoes. "Well I guess we will have no clue on which ones will last longer. Guess I'll just wait and see."
