ATTN: OGs and other well known members. Source talk?

[readalot]

I received a DM the other day that really does a nice job capturing all of my thoughts on this. I'll ask the author if I can share anonymously. Was exceptionally well done.

I received this from member whose work I really admire. I received permission to share this. Said it much better than I could.

I hate QSC. It goes against everything that MESO once stood for. The customer service is apparently zero. They are “the most tested source” but all of those tests are meaningless. The OPSEC is best described as reckless abandon. They’re too big and will get busted - I’m surprised they’ve lasted this long. Their thread is filled with herd-speak and fanbois, many of the members ONLY post within that thread. The entire operation is dangerous. The fact that gear sold in multi-use sealed vials contains floaters so often that customers just settle for refiltering the gear is insane.

My goal is in-line with yours. We are not drug addicts. We do this as part of a healthy active and productive lifestyle. Cleaning it up may one day erase the druggy stigma leading to acceptance and decriminalization.

Thanks for sharing this Sir.

Told you, with your new logo you have to go do a bit of marketing over there.

But look at the traffic that thread generates.
What the gentleman in that message wrote is true.
So many people that just post there.
And so many that are so engaged in defending the source, no matter what.

They have "set the standard", with all their promos, with the pricing strategies, with how they engage with people across platforms.
All the floaters and underfilling issues get promptly swept aside, often by the same people that posted about them, no matter how many times it gets brought up.
It's like an unstoppable bandwagon and people are reluctant to look at alternatives.
What could make things change?

1: competition - as @biggerben69 pointed out earlier in the thread. There’s other Chinese sources here that pretty much match them on price for a lot of things.

2: members who say they want a change / support harm reduction stop engaging in constant off-topic discussion & banter in QSC (& other source) threads. Questions about & feedback on that sources goods & service ONLY. @Millard has been asking members to do this for fucking ages & everyone ignores the request.

But #2 won’t happen.
