    Because Reddit is infested with bot accounts at this point I tend to trust older threads over newer ones. Easy as hell to buy accs to say a competitor sucks dick

        After all of the controversies, Tenacity was born. It first started as temporary-audacity on GitHub since it didn’t have a name. In order to decide a new name for the project, the lead maintainer at the time held a vote. Among the new names were “Audacium”, “Sneedacity”, and “Tenacity”. The name Sneedacity would later gain traction among 4chan members, resulting in a large volume of votes for the name Sneedacity.

        In response to the large volume of votes by 4chan members, the previous maintainers had an emergency vote, choosing the name Tenacity instead of Sneedacity. This upset some, leading to the creation of a new fork with virtually the same intentions. Unsurpringly, this fork was named Sneedacity.

        Sneedacity lmao

      Not in this case, I found a recent thread where people posted a side by side of an old product with the new one.

      The cotton/polyester split used to be 75/25, now it’s 55/45…

        I’ve noticed it with Darn Tough socks. Used to be mostly Merino wool, now it’s over 50% nylon. My last pair literally smelled like plastic for a week.

      In this case, it is likely the company was bought out by venture capital who cut costs and quality to suck the brand dry between the first and second thread.

      The hive mind / group think stuff on Reddit is strong. I had a friend doing a section of the PCT and he was saying literally everyone had the same setups from socks to water filters.

      That kind of uniformity isn’t good for anyone.
