To me in layman’s language, MF is like Khichdi prasad made in the langar or temple where thousands contribute funds, where the ingredients for the proportion of 1000 people are bought and cooked together by the langar/ temple committee members (fund managers). Say carrots for 1000 people are cooked together so the khichdi retains the nutrition value of 1000 carrots. Once cooked, the khichdi prasad is served to all as per the contribution they made.
Whereas,
Smallcase, is like the ingredients and recipe is told to you every 3 months and you have to cook for yourself. You could be a good chef or you could be a bad one. You may choose to alter the propositions of ingredients and also duration to cook. Also, like you, thousands are cooking at their respective homes. With their ratio and proportions of ingredients and cooking method. At each one’s home gas is being utilized. So if 1000 people are cooking individually, 1000 times gas is consumed separately. So more gas is consumed compared to the langar/ temple. While each one has added ingredients say carrots for 1 person consumption. So that much nutrition only it can retain in the khichdi. Also, some may cook a little less, some may overcook it. So whatever you cook, you eat without complain.
To me, the khichdi prasad at temple/ langar tastes better and is more nutritious.
So I have exited from all smallcase last year because of the above difference, and basis my preferences. I have kept only an All-weather smallcase there too I have changed the ingredients - sold all liquidbees, because I didn’t like that ingredient.
I have kept this one smallcase only because @Anugrah had invested a lot of time and energy in clarifing my doubts and I consider him a friend despite our differences in the product. Also, this way I keep a watch on how smallcase is evolving, and time and again share some feedbacks with him to make it better.
