“I just don't understand who wants…”

I’ve heard so many people make this comment about a variety of things.

I recommend paying closer attention and learning.

The best response is to let people figure out for themselves what they don’t get.



It's sometimes a way to say "can somebody explain the pros and cons" -I don't get an air fryer (for instance) said so, and an aficionado explained the Ps and Cs to me.

Now I just say "doesn't do anything for my style of cooking"


Most of the time it’s not. Usually it’s just a cheap indirection to “I don’t like this”.


But there have been cases of industries or companies pushing things that consumers aren't really interested in in any non-trivial numbers.


As per Ted Lasso: "Be curious, not judgemental."
