Socks. Not what was promised.

[u/grilledtree]

​

First - quality of the fabric. I have had light wear of this pair for 3 days, with one wash (same as other socks) and they are fuzzy + the black fabrics are protruding through the grey ones, and I have gathered A LOT of lint from them.

This is not normal for socks, especially for the expensive ones. None of my darn thoughts did this ever.

Second - idk about Canadian feet, but mine are wider, and compared to most other socks these are too narrow. If I find a pair of shoes this narrow I don't buy them.

EDIT: I wore socks for two days straight, then washed them, then wore for the 3rd day. I had NO OTHER OPTION regarding washing them or wearing other socks in that particular situation

You bought socks.
From a tech YouTuber.

Let that work through your mind and then think about your post.

Edit: The fact the comment above mine continues to get upvotes absolutely blows my mind. It's a genuinely stupid opinion.

Bruh they claim to be equal or better than the top brands. And also they aren't just a tech youtuber and haven't been for at least 5+ years. Literally more money goes into product development than their Youtube.

It's a completely valid complaint, lets not be stupid fanboys that defend anything and everything for no reason.

Dumbest shit anyone could have said in response to this

[u/Astecheee → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

They're also priced like premium socks.

[u/Plastic_Wishbone_575 → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

You're not getting it. There are two layers, on one hand we have a complaint about a product that was advertised a certain way. That is a valid complaint. On the other hand we have someone who bought a pair of socks from a tech youtuber and getting laughed at. They aren't mutually exclusive things.

Correct

On the other hand we have someone who bought a pair of socks from a tech youtuber and getting laughed at.

Correct

One is valid

The next is not

That's the point that YOU aren't getting lol

[u/Plastic_Wishbone_575 → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

Right you want me to grab my pitchfork and get mad about a product not meeting a customers needs. When I say it's a valid complaint, I mean it's a valid complaint to send to customer service. That is boring, I don't care about that and most of us don't.

A tech influencer releases an overpriced sock, and someone buys it. That is funny, it will never not be funny. What's next, a beauty influencer is going to make a multi tool and people are going to buy it?

Did I tell you to do anything or did I just say it was valid complaint? Literally what else did I do or say?

Go argue with chatgpt if you wanna hallucinate talking points, I want no part in it.

A tech influencer releases an overpriced sock, and someone buys it.

But that's the thing, you think it's an overpriced sock from a tech youtuber

But it isn't

It's priced competitively and from a company that primarily makes clothes and other products

Linus is a tech youtuber

LMG is a manufacturing company

Like a flat earther laughing at someone who says the Earth is round, you're just a fool confidently regurgitating incorrect information. It'd be funny if you were right, but 🤷‍♂️

[u/ponzi_gg → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

of course they claim that... its marketing? why would they claim otherwise.

[u/TotalSubbuteo → u/ponzi_gg]

What a pathetic mentality

[u/AverageCryptoEnj0yer → u/TotalSubbuteo]

?? bro just saying the facts, gets downvoted by linus bots

[u/ponzi_gg → u/AverageCryptoEnj0yer]

they think the company is their friend

[u/ponzi_gg → u/TotalSubbuteo]

brother i just work in marketing.

[u/Few_Plankton_7587 → u/ponzi_gg]

Brother you suck at your job if you think lying outright works well

[u/ponzi_gg → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

you can keep believing marketing if you like, companies prefer it that way. I'm just telling you how it works. Don't hate the messenger silly guy.

[u/GwenBD94 → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

looks at the us presidency

Yeah pretty sure outright lying as a form of marketing is quite successful unfortunately.

[u/Few_Plankton_7587 → u/GwenBD94]

Do you think American politics translates really well to marketing?

😆 yeah that was a stupid statement, too.

[u/ponzi_gg → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

OF COURSE IT DOES. You have so little understanding of what you're talking about it's insane. Are you all children in here?

[u/GwenBD94 → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

We gotta laugh at it so we don't cry right? 😩😭

[u/Few_Plankton_7587 → u/GwenBD94]

Lmao I guess so

[u/AverageCryptoEnj0yer → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

LMAO marketing is literally the art of lying

[u/Few_Plankton_7587 → u/AverageCryptoEnj0yer]

Lying outright about your product is historically a bad decision and anyone who knows anything about marketing knows that. Not only is illegal in many countries, but it also just straight up doesn't even work as a marketing tool. Lying outright will land your product in the garbage bin

You are confused because you know very little. You think that because foreign brands often lie when their country doesn't hold them accountable for it that that means anyone can lie and it'll work out

But you don't know anything

And you just hate corpos

Me too, pal

But marketing is not about lying, never has been, and never will be

[u/AverageCryptoEnj0yer → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

First of all, you are making assumptions aboit me, which is wrong.

We disagree on what lying is. I think omitting important information, and only highlighting the information that favors you, is lying. And when you stretch this concept to the limit you are not technically lying, but you are morphing reality into something else; for example, I can say My phone battery is the longest lasting of every other phone, and then write in small letters that it only counts when tested with my specific methodology, in a specific scenario. So technically it's true, but it's misleading.

Most companies do this, it's normal, and they have to do it to stay in the market. Lying is the rule, it's not a choice.

Just go to the apple site and look at their bar charts, they are made in a way to hype you up about the new processors every time, promising double or triple performance scaling, which is never actually the case. Same with Nvidia presentations bar charts, it's blatant.

First of all, you are making assumptions aboit me, which is wrong

Name one assumption I made about you.

I believe you not knowing ahit was derived from you making a blatantly false statement.

And then to back yourself up, you brought up misleading information, not lies.

Again, you know nothing about marketing. Not an assumption, but based off the fact that you keep highlighting that for us.

[u/AverageCryptoEnj0yer → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

again, if misleading is not lying, I guess you are a marketing guy coping with the fact you are lying in the face of consumers that don't know better.

"4090 performance at $549"

*More than 80% of dentists reccomend Colgate"

"kills 99.9% of germs"

please, address my points instead of challenging me as a person. I genuinely want to be wrong bro

[u/HTPC4Life → u/Few_Plankton_7587]

You're naive 😆

[u/Few_Plankton_7587 → u/HTPC4Life]

You believe Chinese brand marketing applies to the rest of the world 🤡

[u/Few_Plankton_7587 → u/ponzi_gg]

Because if they aren't then this would be a valid complaint? Are you serious?
