  • Connolly provided some possible reasons for the new behavior.

    First, he said, consumers may be trying to save money because this summer will likely be “more travel intensive” than last year, something he believes will be a temporary shift.

    Other reasons he gave include deflationary trends in a few single-ingredient items and lower pension incomes.

    Regarding what the company can do to stimulate demand, Connolly said he is not a fan of deep-discount promotions, because those tend to train the shopper to look for deals.

    “So we don’t like those kinds of promotions,” he said. “But in the current environment with the consumer that is cutting back and making other choices, we probably are more likely to see some players resort to harder deals to stimulate units.”

  • I am one of those people who does not want massive widespread adoption. Then we just turn into something else to be monetized with no privacy or security. If someone wants that, there are plenty of godawful social networks they can go to.

    I see this in the Linux ecosystem as well. Everyone who wants it to overtake Microsoft or Apple is more than willing to sacrifice what makes Linux better in the first place just for what? Numbers? I would rather have the greatest thing in the world that has a steep learning curve so only twenty people use it but who appreciate it than sacrifice everything about it that is great so 20,000 people can use it.

    Same with Signal. People complained about the devs getting rid of SMS support because now Memaw won’t use the app anymore, despite the devs stating that to keep SMS support would make the app inherently less secure, which is the entire point of the app.
