Sadly, I think they'll all go to some form of AI, if they haven't already.

I'm a big fan of REA. Their Instagram posts used to routinely have a lady displaying and promoting the items, but I just looked and they last had a live person promoting items in May 2024. Now every post describing an item sounds like a robotic computer voice. Sure, the items probably get the same amount of exposure, but the personal/human touch is gone.

Can't wait for the "Comes with a COA from Bot-29583B4R5".
