E-commerce is obviously not a dull industry. A few days ago I watched a youtuber discuss how he ideated, designed marketed and sold his fairly technical product (keyboards) online. It was marvellous how he did everything from ideating to sending the designs to the manufacturer in China, to selling in various store across the globe all through the internet. It's greatly lowered the barrier to entrepreneurship and has created so much value.
Right ?@@JM-st1le I've heard about so many hurdles and hysterical stories with dealing with Chinese manufacturers...That's not dull that's a nightmare. The fact that he managed to go that far without getting scammed already sounds like a 3 hours story in itself. What's the channel/guy's name ?
After 14 years in Canada; the diagnosis of Canada’s lack of ambition / “go for bronze” mentality is absolutely real.

Eh, imo an incredibly dull person, company, and industry.
Dull industry ? If ecommerce is a dull industry I wonder what's an exciting industry
