I saw these and I thought they were so cute, like I genuinely wanted one for myself because it looked like something out of Subnautica. Then I go to the website and lo- it's made for fucking landlords.
They even have a calculator that calculates rent for the pods.
They'll never regulate this shit, you'll have an absolute
putting like 10 in a house and charging every head full rent.
He was right 
We are helping Landlords like you thrive in this new Gig Economy.
No way this is real. Somebody from here has to have written this as a bit. It's another one of these things where it sounds like it's tailor-made to drive Hexbear users insane. The only thing that's missing here is an AI assistant inside the pod, watching you sleep.
It implies that landlords even need help. It's never been a better time to be a landlord.
I read the whole website trying to figure out if it was a joke and I'm still not sure
The only thing that's missing here is an AI assistant inside the pod, watching you sleep.
Omg delete this before the lathe hears you!
You got a good theory going on, this whole website was pure 
for me.
Whoever wrote this please show yourself and tell us it's a fucking joke.
This is so fucked
Their FB page is filled with obviously botted reviews
I really hope this is an elaborate bit, I watched one of their landleech "testimonial" vids and it didn't seem obviously generated by AI, he was boasting about increasing his monthly yield of blood by 80% using some of these
Edit, addendum:
Website is extremely sus imo
Filled with stock photos/photos ripped from other places and the videos they have of people "reviewing" their pods look like carefully edited-down reviews people have made of capsule hotels, this shit is definitely a scam
Although actually maybe they're just reselling/"dropshipping" capsule hotel pods to landlords tbh, I saw some similar photos on Alibaba product listings
Landleech dropshipping scheme lmao, what an incredible variety of parasites our society has produced
We even have have parasites that feed on other parasites
If it isn't real now, it will be soon.
I think you’re right. It’s either a drop shipping service or a scammer trying to profit from landlords by using renters and online users to spread the website in the hopes it attracts landlords.
The site was created recently, and every post about this only came into existence today. The catalysts seem to be supposed landlords asking innocuous questions on forums about whether they should implement more of these pods in their units and getting a ton of backlash.
This is either a bit or a grift using people like us as their pawns.

Yeah :(
It's definitely some kind of scam/grift. 2 of the new/recently resurrected accts on reddit posting about this were also posting about another shopify slop vendor selling paint kits or some shit like a month ago
Dead internet ~~theory~~
This is seriously making me reconsider how much "discussion" on reddit is entirely artificial
Okay, okay, maybe I'm looking into this too deeply but
Also, the only people talking about this online are either people making fun of it or accts that are either new or were inactive for years suddenly posting about it
Example, this 
user who was inactive for 6 years and then suddenly is posting about these fucking pods and arguing with people:

Very sus
A lot of it might just be outrage bait for more engagement tbh, or maybe just trolls idk
It might also be an ARG/ad campaign for an upcoming TV show or game
How do you even rehabilitate these people???
You don't. 
This is how they are rehabilitated
Vietnam put them in camps for years until they were confident the fuckers understood economics, or were at least so beaten down as to be neutralized.
What a waste of resources. That food could have gone to people who deserve to live.
Neuromancer featured capsule hotels 40 years ago, and I guess they were a thing in Japan even then.
Techbros carefully studying "don't build the torment nexus" and re-inventing flophouses.
They are a thing in Japan at present day. The bizarre thing to me about them is that they aren't any cheaper than an airbnb. I've even seen some standard private hotels that are similar in price. I would have imagined that the entire appeal to a capsule hotel would be that they would necessarily have to be dirt cheap
I was under the impression that they've endured only as a novelty, so they're not really competing with conventional hotels.
I assume they are located in highly desirable locations so the draw is being able to crash right in the middle of the most exciting part of the city. An Airbnb or hotel room can increase by hundreds of dollars depending on which neighborhood its on. But a landlord with a suburban house trying to rent out these pods? lol
Rehabilitate? 
How do you even rehabilitate these people
Rehabilitate? 
His unit started attracting white-collar professionals and international students
Imagine studying to be an accountant or programmer or whatever and then having to live in one of these things. I bet a "depressing commie block" doesn't look so bad from the inside of a pod.
rehabilitate? 
Rehabilitate? 
I don't trust this thing not to build up dangerous levels of carbon dioxide while you sleep. Do you really think they thought hard about breathability while making it 'soundproof'?
One of those claims is a lie. They say they have a fan in the unit, but if they do then it wouldn't be soundproof.
Also the absolute mustiness and BO that would accumulate in one of those units. People won't sleep in a unit that smells like feet and BO.
Landlords really are the scum of the earth
Hell, scum is more pleasant than these assholes
live in the pod.
<----- you are here
eat the bugs
Bugs aren't even bad, lots of cultures eat and cook with them (chirpy chip cookies made with crickets in the US) but you know it will be the most cursed insect that's used in the US.
It will be roaches, I already know it.
snowpiercer was a documentary

Ok hear me out: just have like, tenements, but with modernist design aesthetics. The poors will eat it up.

C Y B E R P U N K 
from Neuromancer (1984) book:
Cheap Hotel was the name of a hotel in Night City that had rentable coffins, white fiberglass capsules that were three meters long and had oval hatches that were a meter wide and just under a meter and a half tall. The coffins were racked in a framework of industrial scaffolding, organized in six tiers with ten coffins on a side. The hotel was able to be reached through an alley off Baiitsu and had an unlit neon sign near the entrance that simply said "CHEAP HOTEL."
Those are pretty popular in cyberpunk genre, but always gets portrayed as significant part of why it is dystopia.
OK but what if this were just my new product to fleece credulous and stupid landlords?
Kidding aside, I would like to find ways to entrap landlords into crippling debt for their sins.
They need to be studied, they're living proof that a sociopath can be made instead of only born.
Subscription model.
Is this real? The language of the site almost seems like a joke. And the only content related to SomiPods were all posted today and primarily on Reddit.
I see one landlord forum post of some guy supposedly meeting the sales rep at Costco lol. Another landlord chimes in and says it’s already here in the UK. But even then, these posts were also only posted today. Seems a bit strange that these things are already implemented yet even landlords seem to have found out about it today, alongside the rest of us. The account who created the thread also only created their account today.
Their testimonial section also includes news articles… about pods, in general. Not their brand. In fact some are even advertising other brands lol
