    Subway is so bad, I make my own submarine sandwiches from scratch. Yep, I make my own dough and mold it into bread for submarine sandwiches. It's easy compared to molding hamburger buns or hot dog buns. But yeah, not only do I make the dough for the sandwiches, I fry that dough in pork fat (lard). When the bread is golden brown, I let the bread sit on a plate to cool it off, I cut it up, then I put in the sliced meats of my choosing. A delicious submarine sandwich made for pennies on the dollar. And that my friends is how you put Subway out of business, by making your own submarine sandwiches.

    I've never understood this....why the hell should I go to Subway when I can get a sub that's far better (and for less money) at one of the many independent sub shops and pizza joints in my area. I'm also supporting locally-owned businesses, whom I'd much rather give my money to than to a bunch of suits in some corporate headquarters somewhere.

    Go Pro still makes the best action camera. The problem is that the market is saturated with cameras. The brand of GoPro is still worth a lot, as they branch into outdoor products like backpacks and accessories for the cameras. Nick came up with a need that the public wanted and he was rewarded for his creativity. Now he or someone at GoPro needs to come up with a new product that the public will want and doesn't realize it quite yet.

    Considering this video is a year old when i found it the share price continues to fall, now at $1.70 a all time low. I've had many GoPros the best in my mind was the Hero3. But what I found was as they released new models with better specs the reliability of the camera becomes a huge issue. Lost count of the total freezes and clumsy menu hunting. Yet there were plenty of CZcams tech reviews not pointing out these cameras had major issues. I dare say the 'paid promotion' had them sticking to the script of only good news.

    Any Subway around my region in Eastern Ontario is a dirty, despicable, understaffed dump. They are frequently out of things, have very poor quality meat now and the average sub costs at least $15 - $20+ (plus tax, .13%) and especially if you add even some bacon or some other thing. At best, they are 'skimpy' in rationing stuff. It costs me about $1 - $1.50 to make a full pizza sub (to be fair I hate peperoni and use bacon and many fresh veggies and real cheese, some they don't even offer) and maybe $2 to make the original version of the sweet onion chicken teriyaki - with 100% chicken I cooked, usually double meat too and simple home made teriyaki sauce and sweet onion salad dressing, like the original version and not the horrible sauce now. I will occasionally go into one, just to see if things changed (ie the filth of any around me) and haven't bought one in a long time because of the overall filth in the stores. If I make my own bread it's even cheaper, too :) Very good video!

Tumbleweeds at that Subway. Then there’s another Subway across the street from a Polish market that…well that one recently closed because…tumbleweeds and you get way more and better deals at the market.

    - competition is catching up fast or in some cases have caught up - competitors undercutting gopro with more affordable prices - gopro's overheating and freezing issues, it seems hero 12 solves these - gopro had a period of time where they became too lax barely any worthwhile upgrades that are worth the price - more people keeping their older gopros and not upgrading to the newer units, hence sales aren't booming - failed venture on drones and DJI kicking their butts - gopro went public and splurged too much - hubris

    Used to be a die-hard Subway fan - would buy sandwiches at least 3 times a week - - but ALWAYS with coupons cause their lower quality sandwiches definitely aren't worth full price. Now 90% of the stores around me won't take them. As the customer, I don't care if it's a franchisee issue, corporate issue or what - get it together or drive yourself into the ground - I won't step foot in a Subway until they all accept coupons again....

    I love my gopro 8. However, go pro have a design problem. Content creators now understand that audio is just as important as picture - but to get audio, you have to buy the media mod to get the best results. More money. And, the software control on the gopros is simply crap. When you connect to the desktop, it sometimes connects and sometimes does not. Most of the time, transfer of files requires the user to unscrew everything and take away the SD card to then transfer the data to the desktop via another means. Sometimes it turns on, sometimes it does not. When it turns off, how come you come back a day later and what was 100% battery is now 50%? Insta360 does not have these problems. Maybe Insta should buy gopro???
