why gadget makers sell on qvc
Have you ever bought anything through live shopping?
Yes
No and I won't
No...
My grandparents have.
No
I never knew these TVSN channels still exist. Seems like a way to sell a product at full non-discounted price to tech-averse elderly people who don’t use Amazon.
We’ve missed you, Ashley. Hope we’ll see more videos coming from you soon :)
CEO of sleeping robot company says he couldn't sleep eheheheheheh
Maybe he didn't buy one ...
Missed seeing Ashley's take. Thank you The Verge for bringin her a SEASON 2 woohoo!
Who watches tv shopping channels? Thought these were only watched by middle aged to elderly women. Not a growing market.
It's a huge and growing category in China. I hope it doesn't get anymore popular here in America.
This very much feels like an ad to attract a younger audiences. You get to see the product! You're helping small, independent gadget makers! It's live, so you can trust it!
So I'd say both of our opinions on shopping channels are right, they're only watched/used by older people, and the channels wants to diversify to a younger audience
And 12 yrs old me
I mean, isn't the same with youtube tech reviews? Sometimes I got a feeling that I am watching a long commercial
No, because they're not live and one take.
Definitely not. UA-cam techies mostly overhype products because otherwise folks won't send them more
Ashley holding it down with the QUALITY content. Seriously this is great. Whatever she gets tasked with gets the story it deserves.
Good to see Ashley back again on the channel.
Talking about the topic of the video; such advertising doesn't justify the quality of a product. I think that Teleshopping is almost similar to gambling (You win if the product works satisfactorily or you lose if that product doesn't work as per expectations)
I miss your podcast Ashley! I'm glad your back making videos.
I admit it. I turn on qvc and hsn when I’m feeling down. And then qvc and hsn bring a smile to my face. The host are so funny and phony. It’s comic relief!!!!
Ashley coming back with a home run. So glad to see this kind of videos again here.
The secret is you get to have the undivided attention from gullible people for a brief moment.
People don't spend attention on ads during scrolling.
Hilariously inaccurate. How do you think Facebook is so big? They sell ads. Do you think they got that big because their ads don’t sell get peoples attention?

@@harrymolyneux OP is the type of Big IQ person who thinks he’s immune to psychological strategies that work on “normal” people.
Not coincidentally, they’re usually the same type of people who succumb to it the most.
Great video, Ashley and team! I never quite understood televised shopping networks. It always seems gimmicky and cheap to me. Clearly there's a market and target demographic for it so it's cool to learn a bit about the BTS.
This video was great. Super interesting interviews and brought a new perspective to something I have never really taken the time to think about. Thanks Ashley!
Me too！
Make sure your phone is in short circuit.
Great job. Good to see Ashley back again!
Ashley is BACK!!!!!
I liked her but man that Joe Rogan article she recently wrote made me yikes 🤮.
@@09mubarak I just re-read that article and I am not sure what point you are trying to make. Do you disagree with Ashely’s points about Jones? Or do you think the article is poorly written? What issues do you have with it? I would say it points our truths about the JRE episode with Jones and also provides broader context about the men with relation to politics/censorship/conspiracies/celebrity-
Over all it seems like a straight forward facts based article.
@@pruett89 Who the heck believes anything Jones says? It's obvious to any sane person that he is comical even if he doesn't think so.
What I'm against is to demand that Joe or any other popular figure to never invite anyone because they have different way of viewing things. Now I'm not talking about Jones specifically (I think he is way off on many things) but what I fear is, HOW do we set a line on what's ok and not? WHO sets that line? BASED on what?
I would rather have a mostly free land of expression than a restrictive one where the restrictions are impossible to set fairly.
There isn’t a perfect solution - of course - but it has to come from those who watch and listen first. People have to comment on what’s happening and begin a discussion and then show what they value with their time/money. I don’t think that Ashley was going to far or pushing a narrative BUT I think the point was to present info and let people(like us here in these comments) think about what this type of platforming really means for society and the spread of info.
great video ashley and the team! apple has perfected this for its gadgets with its public keynotes
The guy saying that qvc is better because he can explain it, while what I think he meant is that qvc Is followed by an elderly market share...
Loved to see Ashley again in a vid 😊
Why doesn't this video have "In The Making" in its title? I almost didn't find this episode.
I get it, Ashley's signature is walking while introducing.
Know what this video could use? Some more ad breaks. Because, six ads in twelve minutes isn’t enough.
Glad you’re back
Nice. Enjoyed this. Thank you.
Is the "amsterdam" guy selling robots or the advertising? I am confused.
A lot of people watch QVC they end up paying more for the product and then they could’ve but it’s very convenient and a lot of people get addicted but when it comes to namebrand products you really should price check you should not buy from QVC because you won’t pay twice as much for the product and QVC will not back up the warranty by from QVC good luck
Hi Ashley! Long time no see, welcome back!
Love the modern themed blue batik the guy wore...
"And there's models going jee-dahlree-dee." 😃 This guy is kind of adorable. I don't want a sleep robot but I'd cuddle him any night! 😁😄
Screw in with confidence
Here for the Ashley content!
Wait, QVC still exists?
Hah! Maybe I should watch some of these sell channels next time I watch tv 🤞. by the way, am just happy to see Ashley again
3:45 social distancing
How can you make a video about live shopping and not talk about China?
Superb! These are really engaging contents!
Do people still watch tv?
QVC coming to a UA-cam near you
Very interesting video!
Just screw in with confidence
verge please hire this person! he is damn cool! like diter
Terminator: I'll be back
Ashley: Let me destroy this man's whole career.
Amazing material, guys. Keep it up! ❤️❤️❤️
How ironic to be getting more ads on this video! *sigh*
Is he using batik??
Idk if these guys have heard of Nvidia 30 series.
Really love this type of videos, can't wait for more!
good one!!
Fascinating.
we still haven't forgotten
So Umbridge joined Babson before Hogwarts
Who else lives outside US and has heard this way if selling goods for the first time?
3:33 super awkward
YEY ASHLEY IS BACCCCCCCCCCk!
missed Ashley Carman.
Hi
great
It's BUISNESS by the way.
thats a stupid and misleading explanation how retail and its prices work.
"just mark it up instead of giving customers the real price"
why dont you work for google then ashley?
just cut the middle man 🤷♂️
I don't understand how anyone could think this is a morally good thing? You're encouraging impulse buys. That's exploitative, but also bad from a capitalist perspective. Capitalism is supposed to give everyone the best product for them, at the best quality for their money. This tries to dodge that by hyping and driving up consumers emotions. How many people will buy things like this and regret it afterwards? or buy an inferior product?
😁
Yo what is this channel? When did i sub to this? Are these people broke?
What
Wear mask

Something was weird about this host. Almost as if she was nervous. Had this almost robotic style to her.
I mean, isn't the same with youtube tech reviews? Sometimes I got a feeling that I am watching a long commercial
