That's why the CEO was pushing the importance of shipping their own mod tools on deadline. My guess is that there will be more automated moderation like Facebook uses.
I've definitely noticed the cheap imitations of their product. I've even spotted one or two on the shelves at goodwill. I don't really see those as competition. There's plenty of other brands of stand mixers out there, yet KitchenAid is still considered a solid buy.
