Comment on I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.

No they’re fucking not

Nice source. Yes, they are.

Survivorship bias, and you just noted you don’t wear them

Holy shit dude, anymore. They survived 6 years of wearing. I’ve been using glasses off the internet for over 10 years as have 3 other people I know, it’s not survivorship bias if over 10 pairs of glasses haven’t had any of these issues you mention.

This point is attempting to imply there is no difference in products, which there absolutely is.

You’re right, the brand name glasses I used to wear have never lasted as long as my Zennis

I’m glad you watched a video once

Or I’ve ordered them and wear them regularly. Nice assumption though.

but this is my profession

So you’re incentives to keep the bullshit going? Well, I should definitely trust you!

and I know better than you.

Clearly not, as you said a bunch of shit would happen with these glasses that, again, I’ve never seen despite my and my wife both having our entire family order glasses online for the last 8-12 years (mine 12, hers 8ish). Oh, and friends as well for about the same amount of time.
