2 things: seems pretty quiet here, and official end of de minimis

[clayd]

i was pretty active here several months ago, then i took some time away, probably around the same time qsc took some time away (although unrelated). i have resurfaced on the pep forums in the last few weeks and it just seems, much quieter, both here and on p*ppys. i haven't pulled up discord yet.

it looks like a handful of vendors are still posting in both places but the discussion is much quieter. any idea what changed?

secondly, officially today is the end of de minimis, which means every package entering the US is subject to tariffs no matter how small. i wonder what this will mean for buying peps from china warehouse vendors. and also wonder how the same vendors are stocking up US warehouses without a significant price increase. any thoughts there?

Its always the Consumer that pays the highest price right, so I can see prices going up because vendors still want and will make money.

I have also noticed that it is a bit more quiet on here and on a couple of discords that I read occasionally. I am not sure why...would love to know the answer. We are getting so many new members every day so you would think that it would be the opposite.

I think this is one of the most accessible sources for Noobs. Then they branch out as they gain access to other sources of information

It is quieter everywhere. I think once people get on glp1s and lose their weight and kind of figure out things as far as maintaining and where to buy, they don't need these type of forums and discord groups as much.

Probably a couple of reasons -

1. Less drama. Dad came home and we stopped arguing to avoid getting the belt.

2. I can't remember my second point... occasional cagri user - forgive my fibril ridden forgetfulness.

It can't be this. This makes too much sense.

Okay, it's probably this.
