They a Uber-like venture capital business that is looking to gain a monopoly on food, or whatever?
Trash Future have an episode on them?
Or are they just a new business model on par with Weight Watchers that is getting big due to increasing ability to ship shit quickly and manage just-in-time logistics?
The food is legit good and I'm tempted. I mean, I use Amazon, so it's not like I won't use an evil company, but, like how evil?
That's the "venture capital trying to build market share" thing. A company like hello fresh only works at scale so they have to market it every where they can, just to focus on growth. Podcast are cheap for the earballs, I'd assume. Hard to parse out how much is normal evil capitalism and how much is off the rails silicon valley capitalism, you know?
