IAmA is meant to be interesting. If people are downvoting then clearly they're not interested in someone shilling their product and advertising here.

It's like the regular Industry, except it's Online

I’ll be honest with you… that backpack does not look good/cool/nice at all.. (I’m my opinion.) It’s also crazy expensive for what it is (and does.)

Do you really think this was needed in the current market? In my opinion this offers nothing new.

I wish you the best, succeeding in starting something new isn’t easy.

Hey dude, just so you know, no one’s believing you. The post comes across as disingenuous.

I think "big backpack" is paying for bots to down vote the guy.

I think people hate a really obvious ad for a wildly overpriced backpack

He answered the question with another ad. Epic

This whole sub is mostly ads.

Yes, but his background is in Online Industry, so it makes sense.

for real. I up voted the guy. People love to hate different / poor.

You have a passion for backpack design? Interesting choice, my passion is for eating fried chicken, now if only I could find a job in that…

Online Industry?

Schools allow bags you can't see inside?

tf are people mass downvoting this guy?

He clearly speaks English as a second language (quite well i might add). He's got a passion project he's trying to kickstart which is designing backpacks for kids, and yes this post is an ad for it. It's really clearly an ad. He's linked directly to the kickstarter. He's not trying to pull the wool over your eyes, this is an ad for his backpack.

I agree, it's overpriced but i'm guessing the economies of scale that larger competitors have to play with, don't apply here.

If you don't like the post, downvote it and move on, but mass downvoting this guys every comment because he had the audacity to make a kid's backpack when Jansport already exist, is bewilderingly shitty behaviour.

What is the Online Industry?

Ahh. The BMW playbook.

Is this AMA going the way you hoped it would?

I was similarly fascinated when I saw my Army rucksack (circa 2007) for the first time. Comparing the weight distribution design of it vs the backpacking frames I had in Boy Scouts was very cool.

I could definitely see this being an intriguing field.

The child hookah addon costs extra

The major backpack brands in the world are literally like hundreds of years ahead of us. However, the improvement is continuous, with different purposes requiring different features on the product. While other big brands only focus on designing products for adults, a backpack for children that has to carry a lot of accessories on the shoulder is not much attention. And this is the direction we are headed.
