Why? It's more than a discount (though that helps) and good ads.
I love how this company builds itself WITH its members — something you can only do with this level of care and control.

One of the best things I’ve done lately is ditch the iPad Pro keyboard cover.
Weighs SO MUCH LESS, delightfully thin, more fun to use (so I use it more).
The trackpad was funny when it was new, but this OS has no business being clicked. And now iPad disappears in a bag.

- How happy (or unhappy) it makes them feel to eat or drink them

One thing I worry about with AI is that it is very good at persuasion, as studies have shown, even when it is persuading you of something wrong.
For example, I asked Claude to create 10 pseudo-profound sounding leadership lessons that sounded good but were toxic. It did "well"😬

I plotted the curve of 4-year food inflation over the past 10 presidencies, and, yep:
The ~25% rise in grocery prices during Biden's presidency wasn't really his fault, but it was the worst in decades.
Peaking during the election run-up, it became impossible for Kamala Harris to escape.
