I was part of the vine program for a while, they just invited me randomly. You start out at "Silver" tier which gives you access to sub $100 items. There is a lot of crap that no one wants (cake toppers, oddly specific party supplies, etc) and the search is horrible. The good stuff goes super fast, almost instantly. There are a few browser extensions and Discords with membership fees that can help, but most of what is available is not stuff I'd buy normally.
I read a lot of reviews before buying anything and hate that vine reviews are heavily skewed towards positive by people who simply unbox them, take pictures, and write some generic crap about how it "feels quality". I decided that I'd actually use and test items for a while before writing a review. Most of what I got from vine was generic power tool batteries, ebike chargers, and other assorted electronics/tools. Man, so much of it was crap. Batteries were almost always WAY under capacity with poor build quality and chargers couldn't output the rated current. I'd go to leave a detailed negative review and see a bunch of glowing vine reviews from people who didn't even use it. Now with chatgpt so many of these reviews are full of em dashes and "it not just x, it's y!".
I am proud that of the reviews I did leave, the majority were negative and well deserved. I thought for sure that would get me kicked out but it never did.
The problem with testing and writing detailed reviews is that it take time and effort. Eventually life got busier and I fell under the 60% review minimum. I couldn't bring myself to be part of the enshittification of the internet by writing generic chatgpt generated reviews in exchange for free product, so I was kicked out.
But yeah, it seems like most are happy with their free not-free products and use AI to write generic reviews to stay in the program. You still have to pay income tax on everything you get from vine, so really it's about a 60-80% discount depending on which state you live in, and most vine products are at MSRP or over priced for what they are so the discount is even less. It's extremely rare to find name brand products on vine that haven't been snatched up in seconds by someone else.
I think the demographic that benefits most from vine is low income/unemployed people. Discord seemed full of stay at home mom types spamming f5 whenever there was a "drop" in the middle of the day. Then the income tax might be 0-5%, and they have time to write reviews, sell the products on ebay, and deal with the massive amount of cardboard that comes. For some reason if you get 5 things from vine, it almost always come in 5 different boxes on the same day.

When I first met my sister-in-law, she showed me photos of how her cousin was an influencer with 20k followers living in LA. He was renting a room sleeping on a mattress on the floor in a room with another guy in a 1mil modern house with 10 or so other influencers. She said he was living out of boxes because he just sells everything and things can get stolen from other tenant's, anything worth keeping is in the storage units.
I can't recall which brand of memory foam/gel mattress it was, w/e was new and popular possibly purple. But the guy had pitched how he had this many followers with this particular demographic to that brand, they gave him a free bed. He gave them like a 4.5-4.8 star review because "no one is perfect" and to make the review seem honest even though he didn't spend a night on the mattress. He sold the mattress for $2,000 in a couple weeks. I met him at the wedding years later, he honestly was a snobby dick. But when we spoke, he had a successful business selling assortment of roses and had moved on from those living condition.

In regard to the pump, I have the Wolfbox 2000A jump box and pump combo, wish I would have bought one 4000VA instead of 2x 2000VA but it still content with this. I actually used it yesterday on my UTV (25-10-12) after it had a rapid flat, damaged valve stem. Under normal conditions where I'm just topping off the tires of my vehicles with this pump, I would say it's about 10-20 secs per PSI. But with the leak from 4PSI, it was 35-50secs per PSI, but results may vary that was before I tightened the hose after my brother connected it. The first go around I inflated the tire to 15psi, disconnected to see that dropped down to 8 psi immediately. I ran it again, at 20psi but it had cut itself off after using 1 bar (1/4) of power, tightened the hose. 3rd go around inflated back to 20psi from 14 psi, then high tailed it back shop in about a minute, around than 1500 ft away. From there I use my 30 gal compressor after the repair. I think it usually takes about a minute to inflate my truck tires from 29-30 to 35psi in about a minute using about one bar.
In regard to jump box, the 2000VA is plenty to jump my mower and UTV's. I've mostly use it on 4 cyl. Hondas and Miata's and it works fine. On my old V6 Tacoma, from over a month sitting dead battery, you may get a couple jumps from a fully charged pack, partially charged is a no. Haven't tried a my V8. Needed another truck or battery to start my tractors. I understand it's a safety feature but I don't like that with the cable adapters to the unit, you have to press a boost button where it makes the cable live for only a minute, after every jump/attempt you have to reset it. A lot of my use cases is where cats hit the light switches on my tractor and UTV's drain the battery with the occasional alternator/battery failure.

The average stars should be much lower, but the vine reviews skew it.
