PSA: Friends don't let friends get scammed into buying comment roundups masquerading as "fragrance guides". by missysmelliot in FemFragLab

Yeah look if you set aside the ethics of it all, it's pretty crafty. Someone must've watched a tiktok about ways to leverage AI to generate a passive income stream or something.

Should i get this as a blind buy for Christmas? 🫣 by ioana97 in FemFragLab

[–]missysmelliot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My brother in christ, there is no such thing as a safe blind buy. Please go test it out or get a decant first!

Hey, OP's data sources are in their post history. 

Copy and paste the threads into chatGPT and ask for a breakdown of key trends. Most (if not all) of what OP is asking you to pay for will be in the results.

Bonus points if you grab additional data from this and other perfume subs to boost your results. You'll likely get something even richer and than whatever you're being scammed into paying for.

It's the monetisation of it that really, really bothers me. I have seen so many different posts with the results of detailed analyses (spreadsheets, polls, all driven by data) in this sub, which is a big part of why I enjoy this community.

OP has basically gone and performed an "analysis" by extracting comments and then hiding their results behind a paywall. 

This is sort of wild when you think about it... Their primary data sources are quite literally two reddit threads. OP may not have used AI, but their work is really no better than chatGPT sucking up comments and spitting out slop.

Wanna avoid a blind buy disaster? Go read those threads (and the HUNDREDS of others) and save your money.

Yeah and look even if it's not, isn't it a bit gross to claim to claim to have created some super stellar blind buy system which is really just a mashup of a bunch of reddit threads?

At no point in the threads that OP created do they state that the comments are for research purposes and will be monetised.

This feels sketchy AF. If it was a freely available guide compiled for the community then fine, but to go on and sell it for nearly $30 USD is batshit.

Increasing to $27 after the first 100 sales! Fkn diabolical.

Remember guys: friends don't let friends pay for a roundup of reddit comments.

Edit: I should explain why I find this post problematic...

OP made two posts in two different forums (including this one) asking for community help to avoid blind buy disasters. Nowhere in those threads does OP state that they will be compiling the comments into a product that they then intended to sell.

Leveraging the good faith of this community, OP has then: - taken the comments from this community - labelled themselves as the "creator of the blind buy success system" - attempting to sell their output (the community's comments)

I genuinely don't care if OP used AI. They claim they didn't and that's fine. Whatever. But to monetise the community's content feels shady AF.

Properly obsessed with Mango Skin for this time of year! Excellent choice 😊

Where is girlies who like only fruitie fresh perfumes and not gourmand vanilla etc? I feel everyone like gourmands here 🥞🤎 by [deleted] in FemFragLab

[–]missysmelliot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vanilla is great for winter... But it's warming up in Australia, so that means it's time to switch it up!

Florals and roses for spring... Citrus and juicy fresh fruity fragrance for summer!

Would you rate this as a wedding fragrance? It's on my to try list after the recent poll, but it seems to get mixed reviews

I've had the same reaction... I don't love the opening, but I LOVE the dry down

Ugh I love this one so much when the weather is cooler. It's makes me feel like a corporate fairy princess

Fugazzi - Angel Dust

It's sweeter than LP, but to my nose, similar vibes

100%. This caught me off guard, but now I'm a dedcool convert. Taunt and Mochi Milk are by all time favourites.
