● The membership trap
The sticker is not always the price.
The Eight Sleep Pod 4 stickers at $2,599 — then bills ~$21 a month, forever, because it doesn't run without the membership. Three years in, you've paid $3,355. Every product on this site wears a badge: ● Sub required or ✓ No subscription, and the math is done before the verdict.
