it's really disheartening to see. GB as a concept works really well for both the producer and the buyer. Shared risk means more innovative and unique products will be able to see production. I just HATE the hosts with "It's GB. You knew what you were getting into, bro." Someone should do a quantitative study on the rate of success and failures on GBs.

Things have not gotten better with Covid lock downs, supply chain issues, and shipping cost volatility. In fact, I would wager that some of the GB hosts are using it as an excuse for their lack of project management skills. I follow RAMA works' Instagram and most of their posts are lousy with GB buyers asking for a status update on their purchase (some a year or more old). And not surprisingly, RAMA just flat out ignores their plead for an update.
