They are referring to how Cricut tried in the last year or so to require a monthly subscription if you wanted to use your own files to print, as well as if you didn't want a limitation on how many prints you can do a month. They ended up backtracking, but only because of the backlash from the community and negative PR. I'm of the understanding that Cricut has to be online, so you couldn't just unplug it from the internet and continue using it without their subscription.
I'm not sure if the competitor, Silhouette Cameo, ever has sales like Cricut... But I think people might be leaning towards them after what Cricut tried doing
Been eyeing the Cricut or Silhouette Cameo for a while, maybe for opening an Etsy .... But the market seems really saturated. I guess though if you had a wedding coming up, or just like decorating things, this could maybe be justified. Probably would prefer to go for the Silhouette though, because of what Cricut tried not long ago... Suddenly limiting amount of prints, not being able to use custom images anymore unless you subscribe, etc...

Depends on what niche you want to go into and what you wanted to make. The wedding niche is a saturated one.
I wish the crocus joy accepts the explore tools at least. I like the idea of a light and small machine but I do not want to spend the money in the tools.

I think they meant if you had your own wedding coming up or knew someone who had a wedding you could create such specifically for that not for the market in general
I'm just a casual observer of this stuff, but to my understanding, it just depends on what you want to do. I'm sure there are helpful videos out there that compare the cricut versions and what they can and can't do. I think the Maker can use smart materials, and might even be able to cut thin wood, among other things ... But don't quote me on that

I've been considering getting one of these for making using as templates for etching metal. I'm still researching makes and models. Would this be worth getting, or should I spring for something better?
Basically, I'd print a reverse image (the image will be cut out), stick it onto the metal and etch the negative space. Think of etching your logo onto something. I'm sure I'm not using the right terminology.

We bought a silhouette for our own wedding a few years ago - easily came out ahead and with more quality/custom/exactly what we wanted envelopes, multi-piece invites, signage, and labels compared to what you could readily get elsewhere. Of course, takes some time and know how to get what you want out of it, but worked incredibly well for us!

Yes.. I figured that. But they said 'the market is saturated'. There are so many markets out there.. some are saturated and some arent, it just depends what you want to do. Weddings definitely are. If you wanted to make things for schools, teachers, athletes etc .. that's a good one.
Would like to make my own die cut stickers for like my vehicle, would this work well or better off with silhouette?
How about also using it for crafting, wife likes to do that?
Not trying to be a jerk, but you will probably have to Google this and watch some YouTube videos. I did two quick searches, and I am seeing video results for both the cricut joy (this machine) and the silhouette for making die cut stickers. As for which would work better and the specific ins and outs... That's something you also would want to try to find a comparison video of
Edit: try googling something like cricut vs silhouette die cut stickers. Also, you'll probably quickly find out that there's quite a rabbit hole of info out there on things you can do with the cricut machines, and which ones can or can't do this or that. I myself only just learned in the past week that they sell something for coffee mugs too
