I don't care what anybody says. They protected that guy. Every time I even just think of walking into a Subway, I get this gross kind of sickening . . film covering me.
The quality of food has gone down, it’s too expensive and the employees barely speaking English
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.
Under 2 dollars a share 😂
founder seems corny AF
Fair value is around $6-8. Cash value alone is $2.41. Massive run up coming I hope you do an update!
Is this still relevant for the current situation?
Would be cool if they got back into drones. Maybe a basic drone with a built in gopro camera system to compete with DJI.
GoPro is done!!! I buy their cameras every two years. They never innovate anymore.
Why so few upvotes? Greate video. Clearly unsustainable. The fundamentals are not very different from the crisis of 2008
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.
if you can't buy something as cheap at a t shirt in one installment why would you trust that person to make installments?
2 years ago, after getting food posioning feom them a couple tomes and bad sandwhiches, went to firehouse subs and Jersey Mike’s.
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.
Me it has been a few years since i bought Subway. Though back in Perth as a university student it was part of my lunch and dinner.
How do gov combat inflation part with raising interest rate is a bs answer, they just print more money and making it worst
Insta360 really kicking them out of the market as well
ur right.. insta 360 x3 and x4 give u impressive footages with no Hussle
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!
I make $100k+/yr; I can go to the swapmeet and buy used brand clothes for $1 a pop.
DJI Action 4 is way better than any GoPro
wow, thanks for the fine print warning
It’s hilarious because around here there’s a Subway across the street from a Big Y and you can get $9 foot longs all day at Big Y. Then there’s a Subway with a Nardelli’s across the street. Ouch. 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. I can’t wait for them to disappear entirely! Greedy cocksuckers
HaHa, Insta360 advertising at the start of this video! Nick Woodman bled the company out. Scammer.
Also when bnpl charges 4-6% from merchants.... merchants transfer the burden to consumers by increasing the retail price of the product...😂😂😂....they don't pay from there pocket
do you regret making this video now after what's happened the past 4 months in BNPL?
Ngl I loved the session it was a neat little compact no thrills experience. Just point and shoot. I feel like the newest cams crash and overheat like crazy with anything
I personally don't trust gopro anymore, I rather the competition.
GoPro is expensive compare to others competitor.
Chances are that you didn’t have affirm stocks? How do you feel now?
what was the profit in 2023?
Now we have dji and Insta360 which are way better 😆
Declining food quality and portions, escalating prices. It's a simple equation. Subway screwed themselves. I can go to Publix and get a way better sub for less
Interesting case study. Thanks for the video!
do you guys have any idea how it could have possibly work? i think hiring gang members to eliminate bad debt, then uping the 4% to 10%, finale raising cash mountain just like wework. Pls share your thoughts on this, i would appreciate it.
Can you make a video on Apple Pay Later and how that works and why Apple did it in the first place?
- 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
People who pay more that $5 for a subway sub are out of their gourds, they’re the 30 year olds who need mommy to cook for them You can go to any pizza or mom & pop shop and get WAY more for your dollar
and the fact only professionals can upload and edit color on their uploads perfectly and have access to perfect conditions
funny how im eating a sub from subway while watching this lol
It’s actually kinda sad…
They won’t return! If they are pissing off so many of us loyal customers, they aren’t coming back because I tell you right now I will never buy another GoPro because of the way I have been treated just from there customer service! And the hero 11 mini🤦♂️ fuck me what a piece of rubbish!!
gopro is overpriced thats why dji, insta 360 is a Gorpo destroyer
Don’t see a fall here
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....
Every self made billionaire be like: 1:43
Great info, clean & concise presentation. Thank you for this!
do you want to know where this story is going? look at the brazilian market, which has had "buy now pay later" solutions for decades, and see the extremely high revolving interest rates practiced.
I used to love subway. it was a great place to get lunch at a reasonable price with reasonable food. Now all their subs are 15-20 bucks and suck.
at lesst Jersey Mike’s and firehouse is worth it.
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???
Thanks for the video james. There should be a credit scoring check and default insurance to minimise the risk of bad debts. Unless if BNPL skip these stages for cost cutting.
