Yo, so I’ve been thinking about cook groups lately and whether they’re still worth it in 2023. Like, back in the day, they were *the* go-to for sneaker drops, restocks, and even some random deals. But now? Idk, feels like the game’s changed a bit.
Pros:
- Cook groups still give you early info on drops, which is clutch if you’re into reselling or just copping for yourself.
- Some have solid bots and tools that can save you time and money.
- The community aspect is kinda cool if you’re into networking or just vibing with people who get the hustle.
Cons:
- A lot of cook groups are oversaturated now, so the info isn’t as exclusive.
- Monthly fees can add up, and not all groups deliver value for what you pay.
- Alternatives like free Twitter pages or Discord servers are popping off and doing similar things for $0.
What do y’all think? Still worth joining a cook group, or nah? Or are there better ways to stay ahead in 2023?
Cook groups are still worth it if you find the right one, imo. The key is to look for ones that focus on your niche, like sneakers, streetwear, or even tech.
I’m in one called Notify, and it’s been solid for early links and bot support. The monthly fee is steep, but it pays for itself if you’re reselling.
Also, free alternatives like Twitter pages are cool, but they’re not as reliable. You get what you pay for, ya know?
Nah, cook groups are kinda dead in 2023 unless you’re a hardcore reseller. Most of the info is already out there for free if you know where to look.
I’ve been using Sole Retriever for sneaker drops, and it’s free. Plus, Twitter accounts like @J23App drop info faster than most paid groups.
If you’re just copping for personal, save your money and stick to free tools.
Honestly, it depends on your goals. If you’re trying to make money reselling, cook groups can still be a game-changer. The early info and bot setups are worth it if you’re serious.
But if you’re just trying to cop for yourself, it’s probably overkill. I’d recommend checking out sites like BotBroker for tools or even free Discord servers like The Drop Zone.
The community aspect is still fire tho, so if you’re into that, it might be worth joining one.
Cook groups are hit or miss these days. I joined one last year, and it was a waste of money. The info was late, and the community was toxic.
But I’ve heard good things about groups like AMNotify and Restock World. They’re pricey, but they deliver on early links and bot support.
If you’re gonna join one, do your research and read reviews. Don’t just jump into the first one you see.
I think cook groups are still worth it, but only if you’re in it for the long haul. The upfront cost can be a lot, but if you’re consistent, you’ll make it back.
I’ve been using Balko Bot with my group, and it’s been clutch for sneaker drops. The key is to stay active and take advantage of all the resources they offer.
If you’re not ready to commit, though, free options like SoleAIO or Twitter pages might be better for you.
Yo, thanks for all the replies! Y’all gave me a lot to think about. I think I’m gonna try out a free tool like Sole Retriever first and see how it goes.
But I’m still curious—anyone here in a smaller, niche cook group that’s worth checking out? I’m not trying to drop a ton of cash, but I’m open to something affordable if the value’s there.
Also, how do y’all feel about cook groups for non-sneaker stuff, like tech or streetwear? Is it the same vibe, or nah?
Cook groups are still relevant, but you gotta be smart about it. A lot of them are oversaturated, so the info isn’t as exclusive as it used to be.
I’d recommend looking for smaller, niche groups that focus on specific markets. They tend to have better info and a tighter community.
Also, don’t sleep on free tools like SnkrDunk or The Shit Bot. They’re not as comprehensive as paid groups, but they’re a good starting point.
