How is it a failure to make a product that a bunch of people love? Stop projecting

[-] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

In your opinion, how does the concept of projecting fit here? Just that one word could be re-applied reciprocally in a completely different context?

The business folks are projecting on the customers. If the customers have a product that lasts them forever, then this is a success.

Edit: it doesn't matter what happens to the company. The only thing that matters is if the customers were happy. If you focus on the things that matter, this was a triumph. A huge success.

I, for one, did not love it. Horrible UI. Difficult to clean. Hot plastics steaming plasticizers into the air and food. 👎

I don’t get how plastics can reach the food. Didn’t yours have a stainless steel innerpot with a metal cover on the food side?

A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.
