Yeah but if you think about it they shouldn’t even need pics to sell this gear, and that’s why I have a hard time taking the pic thing seriously. In the age of amazon and instant gratification, sure these things are to be expected, but it wasn’t always the case. If this stuff is indeed what they claim it is, then who even needs a pic? The info alone should sell it. I think they’re counting on people growing this gear out and sending them pics as soon as possible. This is the only reasonable explanation. Those fake pics are just placeholders.
I understand the other side of this, of course. If you can’t trust the pic then what can you trust? I totally see why some of you are so serious about this and I’m not trying to be dismissive of it. There is another troubling thing here, and it’s a four syllable word that begins with the letter H. Anyone wanna buy a vowel?
There’s also the issue of professionalism, which is a big one to me. I don’t think representatives of legit businesses should engage in forum squabbles, and mostly I blame Trump for so many people thinking it’s okay to be an asshole on the internet. Plus it makes every shitty thing you have ever said available to be used as ammunition by your enemies. Part of why I’m careful about what I say and try not to make enemies. I try, honestly, to conduct myself on here as I would IRL. Your post — the fact you were able to pull up something damaging that easily is exactly why it’s a good idea to be like me.
This is also the part where I legit apologize if I’ve ever come across as condescending or self righteous. It’s not my intent.
