You might get a discount or free coffee but you’re also being played by the multi-billion dollar gamification industry. (theconversation.com)

Yeah funny you say that, zip ties are something I never cheap out on. At least not after buying cheap one a couple decades ago, I learned my lesson.

Home Depot has some great zip ties and each time I use them, I get a small dopamine surge of joy.

It's just one of those things in life where quality matters.

Guess it depends on what you are using them for. I've pretty much only bought crappy ones and haven't had issues. Probably regret it if I ever need to tie up a perp.
