Read a study that said most of those tools just average out peak times across all time zones, so it makes your actual followers look like ghosts. You basically outsmarted yourself by following bad data.

Goodness, that's a pretty wild take, @jamie_white. I mean, did we read the same post? Adams.spencer just laid out a pretty clear picture of these places being a circus of sales pitches and overpriced air. If the networking there is just a bunch of people trying to unload their side hustle on you, I can't see how that makes it worth the money. You'd be better off just finding a hobby group on Facebook for free and meeting people who aren't trying to pitch you something. I have a hard time believing that handing over a big stack of cash for that kind of experience is a smart move.

That "wasted almost an hour" part is what got me. I spent a whole afternoon once redoing pipe hangers because I was too stubborn to mark my levels.

Hang on, a full five minutes? That feels like an eternity when you're standing there with a dead board in your hands.

Yeah I totally thought paint prep was overrated until I actually did it right one time.
