There's a rowing machine company called Concept2.

And Concept2, they made this rowing machine.

It's the most basic rowing machine.

It has a bicycle chain.

Part of the thing of this machine is that you buy one and you own it for life because you can just like, if the bicycle chain breaks, you just get a new bicycle chain.

If there are upgrades, they give you stuff to upgrade it.

And it's just a small company that, I want to say out of like Vermont or something like that.

And they just, for years, they've been the forefront of rowing machines.

They had a partnership with a company called Rogue Fitness.

And Rogue Fitness is a distributor of fitness equipment.

And so Rogue was the big distributor for Concept2.

And if you wanted to buy a Concept2, you went to Rogue's website, you get it there, they covered shipping,

So they still sell it, but as that distributor, what they did was they started looking at Concept2's rowing machine and then they made their own rowing machine and now are selling their rowing machine

out of their store at like a slightly cheaper price than the Concept2.

And they are now effectively, you know, killing what was their collaborator

to just get more and more for themselves in what feels like, you know, as like sort of craven capitalism, that's perhaps good business.

But when it comes to humanity, that fucking sucks that like you had a relationship with these people and you've basically just sort of stabbed them between the ribs

to grow your own business for your own sense of greed, which obviously, and I feel weird saying this because I know that you're going to go to an ad break and I know that Rogue Fitness, you get 10% off.

Yeah.

And I know you're going to have to say that later, but where it all dovetails and where I think it kind of comes in this tech conversation is that it's not just tech, it's across the board.
