Those recurring fees are where they get ya. I'll make a big one-time purchase if I think I'm getting a long-lasting quality product, but I'm super stingy on recurring fees because those add up quickly.3 -

Yup. And I'd argue there are more people "outraged at people being outraged" than there is actual outrage in our society nowadays.6 -
Contrarian take on the ad: https://arcdigital.media/stop-gaslighting-the-peloton-wife-916f9b400ccf3
-
In that article it reads - "it does capture what people love about the product. Peloton Wife is transformed by her bike: mentally, emotionally, even spiritually. It gives her a sense of accomplishment, community. The message is perfectly clear: this isn’t just a workout, it’s a damn near religious experience."
What? Oh, I'm sorry, I always thought all of that stuff came from within.
For the record, my original post was trying to point out that the people who are offended by this commercial in my opinion are idiots. Their offense offends me hahaha!0 -

Nope.
So if someone is bothered by an ad, that's a problem with them being too sensitive.
If you're bothered by someone's response to an ad, that's . . . ?9 -
