Like many startups it got hyped to make those exiting at the right time rich, but remove the hype and the product folds as cannot deliver (yet?) on such lofty expectations. Even if technology can be made to work eventually, it will struggle to overcome this feeling of a letdown. My 2c.

I think that’s the issue isn’t it, the sales aren’t living up the hype.

We’ll, no shit, it was sold as the answer to everything and it turns out that it’s just another addition to the food market with some appeal to some people.

I hope that it doesn’t disappear, basically because it make my life easier. But the takeaway from this should probably be along the lines of being skeptic all of the hype, always.
