I haven’t seen anything I’ve even thought about buying in a month and a half. Keep seeing stuff like wireless chargers, jewelry, makeup items. I can always add a membership back on the next time I see something worth buying.
@sweetjoey
So it would seem. Without the Mehmbership, my experience was that I always got hit with the full-on Capt-gotcha instead of just-check-the-box, which makes scoring an IRK functionally impossible. Maybe the orderbot just didn’t like me very much until I bought in.
@sweetjoey Selling your soul to Google is far more effective than Mehmbership. If Google likes you enough, you get the checkbox captcha most of the time.
I’m not sure how someone else could answer that for you? I personally love meh. I’ve ordered 205 items, and literally don’t have one bad thing to say about the company. If I had more monies, I’m sure that number would be far higher.
I suspect that we may see some stuff that’s at least different in the coming couple of months, as the unsold remainders from the recent Xmas season get dropped into the mix-o-crap in the warehouse. Who knows? Since it’s not like you can’t just re-up when the mix gets better, there’s not a lot of downside to zapping it for the moment.
Doesn’t membership now cost $6 per month, with existing members being grandfathered into the $5 pricing? Much like my formerly fellow VMPs who dropped, I don’t expect you can get that pricing back if you do let it go. Just something to consider.
@lljk All depends on how often you’d order if you didn’t think of shipping as a sunk cost.
I briefly kept the $5/membership, but have enough speaker docks now that I didn’t buy often enough, and figured it was cheaper to re-up each time I “needed” something. YMMV, but it was an easy choice for me.
@stinks This is what I do, it’s easy enough both to join & cancel, and the usefulness of the merchandise varies greatly, so i wait for the IRKS & other irresistible stuff.
Is the only reason that you have membership is so you can get irks during a Meh-rathon?
Giphy/ crap hunting robot
Is that the only way I can get an irk bag?

@sweetjoey @werehatrack I have a vmp membership and have lots of trouble getting irk’s. I can’t get one with my membership!
@fairchild521 @sweetjoey @werehatrack same. I’ve been a VMP for nearly six years and I’ve never gotten an irk because of captchas.
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.

As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
I almost have as many t-shirts and zinfandel as stroopwaffles. Don’t give up!

@lljk Right.
@lljk Let one go:

@lljk $4.99, cheaper than VMP by 12¢ a year

Well, let’s ask the expert:
Outlook not so good
/eightball Is it time to cancel membership?
So there you have it!
Cool. Let me try one!
Don’t count on it
/eightball Will there EVER be another Mehrathon??
Aha! Just what I figured!! Phooey.
Don’t forget that you also get membership to Side Deal and other sites.
If you have to ask…

time to trot this back out:
@chienfou ah, thank you. I tried to find that video the other day but no luck!

Gotta love a good search string…
