Can we talk about those foam-backed carpet pads everyone was pushing a few years back?

I thought they were just a cheap gimmick until I had to pull up a 5-year-old install in a busy hallway and the pad had barely compressed, which totally changed my mind on using them for high-traffic areas.

Why do so many "gimmicks" turn out to be the real deal later on?

Honestly @the_max, most "gimmicks" are just good ideas that people aren't ready for yet.

Actually, it's more that people just call anything new a gimmick until it proves itself.

Wait, so people just call everything a gimmick at first? That's wild. Makes you wonder what we're missing right now.
