After giving this a lot of thought, I've deleted my *very* long original comment and am starting over from scratch. What it all boils down to is this: it's a nice enough subscription, but it's not the one for me and that's OK.
I'm guessing the target market for this box consists of beginners who don't know where/how to get started; people who can't just run out to JoAnn and pick up fabric (lack of transportation, live in a remote area where there just aren't any fabric stores, or have a disability that makes getting out of the house An Ordeal, for example); and people who are able to use a sewing machine but might have difficulty with the cutting part (no room to spread out the fabrics, arthritic hands, etc). It still seems a bit pricey to me, but maybe other folks feel it's worth it for their situation.
Also, I'm sorely tempted to go to JoAnn's and get some of that sunflower fabric. It's super pretty, both the colors and the pattern.

That is a very insightful breakdown and a viewpoint that I had been trying to get to but couldn’t, thank you for putting it into words. I knew there had to be a target audience for this box. As for the sunflower fabric, I looked online and it’s regularly 6.99 I think and is half price, I’m tempted to head over and pick dome more up.

Too expensive for what it is .The video you mention is the owner .

I’m beginning to wonder how big this company is, maybe they’re quite small and are trying to look bigger to entice customers and it’s just not working out right now.

Sorry to see the bird fabric again, I didn't expect repeating fabrics so soon, not a good start especially when you got them in last months box. Not very impressive and showing no regard to customer satisfaction, only the off loading of excess stock, that's how it looks. We all have to shop around to find what's worth it and what's not, your videos are a great insight ❤ I don't know if I can send pics, I do not connect my phone to internet (too many scam things) I can take pics on my laptop but they may go into windows file and not Google, and no idea how to transfer them over, but I will try my best to get them to you 🫤lol.

Once you take a photo you can send it to any email you like without issue, but feel free to contact me if you have any questions. As for this box, I can only hope it gets better and that I haven't found myself subscribing to the tail end of a failing subscription service.
