It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I haven't tried tubeless yet, but I can say that I'm quite happy so far with the Ride now TPU tubes you can buy for cheap on AliExpress.
I generally aim for as low maintenance stuff as possible, so this fits well into that philosophy.
First I've heard of these. What's the advantage?
Allegedly:
Higher puncture resistance with lower weight? That seems counter intuitive but if you can vouch for it then maybe I'll give it a try
I have an ebike so I don't really care about weight lol
I can't vouch for the properties. I can only really say that I haven't had a puncture with them yet.
They are pretty cheap when purchased on AliExpress fwiw, so that might be a good option.
