"1. An ad for a countertop food composting machine. I have no interest in buying such a machine, but I hadn't even known they existed and that was interesting enough to get me to go the seller's site for more information." Well, not knowing they existed is perhaps the preferable state. Such products turn out to be borderline scams. I call them borderline because whether they are completely useless is somewhat debatable, but certainly they do not just ingest food, hum for some period of time, and emit compost, despite the well-produced videos to the contrary. You can find a number of YouTube videos not selling them analyzing their performance.
