I don't understand why the quoted author took issue with Quip in the first place. Modern life is increasingly complicated, and full of small burdens on memory and willpower that add up to a huge background stress load. If I can pay a small amount of money to alleviate just one thing to remember (refreshing my toothbrush every couple of months) and could do that for every other annoying little inconvenience of modern life (car maintenance/insurance/tax, renewing and comparing financial services, buying in food and finding new recipes, tracking my dietary composition and fitness, backing up my computer, expensing mileage, and so many hundreds of little things) then life would be a lot more enjoyable. I have nothing but praise for the companies who focus on the little things and do them well. We could all do with not having to think about and remember so many things.
- ghaff 10y agoYeah. I have no particular problem with the quip. It's an expensive electric toothbrush but not ridiculously so. For me, it ultimately wasn't great as an electric toothbrush for travel which is what I bought it for. But, in general, I take advantage of subscriptions and automated billpaying etc. when I really do want things to be on autopilot as much as possible.
