Doorbells. I had to replace a relative’s doorbell recently and the old one that lasted 60 years was built 10x better than the incredibly cheap model that all the hardware stores carry.

The options are either a cheapo doorbell that has an LED in it for no reason, a Ring surveillance doorbell, or a very expensive reproduction doorbell sold on some random website.

AllTrails and other apps like it put publically accessible trail/hiking maps into app form and have user reviews and trails rated for their difficulty. And they use GPS for trail navigation to help out inexperienced hikers or mitigate poorly maintained trail markers.

They also charge a subscription fee for features like the ability to download a map and use it while not connected to the internet. “Pay us or you’ll get lost in the woods” is profitable, apparently.

Apple might be embedding trail maps into Apple Maps, but this article doesn’t explain that.

I read a book called Good Intentions Aren’t Good Enough that basically went over all this.

It helped, I think. It’s been years since I read it.

Liked and subscribed.

Quora is Yahoo Answers, except the majority of posters there have contracted terminal LinkedIn brain and the site has the SEO of Pinterest.

I don’t think your theory about it being a CIA op is too far off - Jorban Peterman first got famous on Quora, and the power users’ politics range from libertarian hustle grindet to fascist.

But, the site would be no different whether it was ran by libertarian tech bros or the US state department.
