Seems like everything that gets hyped online turns out to be cheap junk once you actually use it a few times. Weighted blankets are just the latest thing, same story as those pillowy slippers and the "unbreakable" phone cases. Stick with your quilts for forts, they last because nobody was trying to make a quick buck off them.

Had something kind of like that happen but from the other direction. We were selling a $400/mo retainer and everyone loved the pitch, said yes to the call, then ghosted when it came time to pay. Turned out we were basically describing a job description, not a result. A buddy who runs a totally different kind of business told me "nobody buys a process, they buy the after picture" and that rewired my whole brain. We cut the scope in half and doubled the price and somehow closed more. Weird how a random sentence from someone outside your world lands harder than a hundred hours of tweaking ads.
