- whycome 2y agoIts only a matter of time before we have “smart containers” that will tell Amazon when your laundry detergent is low.
- justusthane 2y agoMaybe, maybe not. The Dash button was basically a much simpler, cheaper version of that and it clearly didn’t work.
- tylerrobinson 2y agoThis exists as wifi-connected scales with Bottomless[1]. My gut reaction is that Bottomless is laughably absurd, an IoT device and middleman in search of a problem. But I’m trying to analyze it fairly. In what circumstance is this better than a normal product subscription that allows skips? Anyone actually used it or know someone that uses it loyally? 1. https://www.bottomless.com/ https://www.bottomless.com/
- john01dav 2y agoI'm way too cheap to buy something like that myself, but I see a clear value proposition. Firstly, if your use rate is variable (maybe you bake only sporadically), that breaks any regular subscription. Secondly, it removes the human error of possibly failing to cancel the subscription, or failing to order.
- asdff 2y agoThat is basically the business model of Subscribe and Save without having to build a product. They give you a discount because they bank on you ordering more often than you typically do.
- fragmede 2y agoThe problem with subscribe and save is I don't know the periodicy of how often I use most items, other than the ones in the grocery store, and I'm not shopping at Whole Paycheck.
