SOMIPODS: Sleeping Capsules
somipods.com
We are helping Landlords like you thrive in this new Gig Economy. Split up your spare room with high end Japanese-style hotel capsules in order to improve the quality of your tenants and increase monthly revenue.

I saw these and I thought they were so cute, like I genuinely wanted one for myself because it looked like something out of Subnautica. Then I go to the website and lo- it's made for fucking landlords.

They even have a calculator that calculates rent for the pods.

They'll never regulate this shit, you'll have an absolute frothingfash putting like 10 in a house and charging every head full rent.

    I think you’re right. It’s either a drop shipping service or a scammer trying to profit from landlords by using renters and online users to spread the website in the hopes it attracts landlords.

    The site was created recently, and every post about this only came into existence today. The catalysts seem to be supposed landlords asking innocuous questions on forums about whether they should implement more of these pods in their units and getting a ton of backlash.

    This is either a bit or a grift using people like us as their pawns.

      Yeah :(

      It's definitely some kind of scam/grift. 2 of the new/recently resurrected accts on reddit posting about this were also posting about another shopify slop vendor selling paint kits or some shit like a month ago

      Dead internet theory

      This is seriously making me reconsider how much "discussion" on reddit is entirely artificial
