Same here, gasket failed in a week, sealant's been holding for a month now.

Switched to a soft manual brush after my electric one left my gums sore for weeks, and the bleeding stopped in about a month. Turns out I was pressing way too hard because the brush felt like it wasn't doing enough on its own. Brushing softer with a cheap brush beat the expensive one for me too.

Man, my buddy Dave went through the same thing with a guy at his co-working space who swore Shopify was dead for small sellers. He kept parroting stuff from like 2018 about how you could never make money unless you had a warehouse and a team. Dave finally launched a tiny store last spring selling phone cases and pulled in solid tips on custom orders within two months. People just love warning you about a game they stopped playing years ago.
