Is there some tax write-off they get for making products that don't do well that they sell for less than their "MSRP" (which they're still likely making a profit on even after a discount)?
An outdoor outfitters said this is common with low-cost bladders. The tubes simply screw into the bladder nozzle, so water almost always gets around the screw threads and leaks. It's EASY TO FIX though, just put a layer of plumber's tape over the threads before screwing the hose back on, and they'll be as leak-free as a properly installed shower head 🚿. I haven't tried it since the tape is so cheap, but if you remove the drinking tube often, another possible option to seal the threads could be some Vaseline/generic petroleum jelly. We use this jelly when we change our countertop water filter once a year, and also for the water and polishing compound filters at my job which are cleaned every day/once a week. Works great with plastic on plastic, so I'm confident it would work on bladders too. Just unscrew the hose, put a liberal amount of the jelly on the threads, and screw it back in 👍

But yes, sometimes a product lives or dies based on the online picture on our digital screens, and it also seems like this deal has died. However, I DO RECOMMEND water bladders in general! Literal lifesavers on long hikes, way more comfortable and capacity than water bottles or heavy Stanley/Yeti/Hydroflasks.
