Costco says unique items continue to play a role in generating excitement for its members. The $150K diamond and the Babe Ruth baseball are not serious revenue drivers. They are conversation starters. They are the reason a member tells their neighbor, 'You will not believe what I saw at Costco this weekend.' That word-of-mouth is priceless, and it keeps the renewal flywheel spinning.
Social platforms promised reach, scale and frictionless distribution. In exchange, publishers ceded control of audience relationships, data and, ultimately, trust. Today, that bargain is not working. Social media is imperfect. Feeds are flooded with bots, synthetic engagement, misinformation and bad actors operating under inconsistent or nonexistent moderation standards.

Costco's Auto Program should be as popular as its $5 rotisserie chicken - but I've learned not too many of its members actually know it exists. I discovered the program this past summer during a Costco grocery run when a pamphlet caught my eye as I was leaving. At the time, I was in the market for a car but putting it off because I didn't want to deal with persistent salespeople or lose a day haggling at a dealership.
There's been some hullabaloo over HP's laptop subscription service, recently brought to light by a Linus Tech Tips video. And for good reason: it feels like everything is a subscription these days. But it's not just the dystopian feeling that companies are happy to sell you access to movies, music, games, phones, printers, and now even laptops without you actually owning them.
