      It could be profitable, but it isn’t as profitable as making an unreliable and overly complex piece of crap that increases sales totals which jack up stocks.

      Hell, being profitable isn’t even important for lot of businesses anymore, they just want growth.

          Think it was something about being bought out by private equity, and being run into the ground. I’ve loved all of the instant pots I’ve owned, only have had more than one because I needed a bigger one.

            Being bought out by private equity is a massive red flag for quality, they always go cheap and ride the brand recognition as long as possible.
