Bad seasoning vs. good seasoning

I've been cooking pretty consistently with cast iron for about 5 months now (big thanks to my roommate Josie for getting me into it). When I started, I seasoned all of our pans. A couple of them have definitely lost that nice traditional seasoned look due to some inconsistent aftercare. BUT... It turns out as long as I oil them before use (about the same I would use on a well seasoned pan) things are turning out just fine. That leads me to my question: If I need to use the same amount of oil to keep things from sticking whether the pan is nicely seasoned or not, what's the real point of seasoning?

Probably a super dumb question, I can already see the negative thumbs down climbing but I am honestly, I am having very little issues on these pans vs. the freshly seasoned ones.

Thanks for any insight.

Do we know what Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse original arc was for Walt? Especially with the question from Miss Clue about Walt being two places at once and him showing up on the other side of the Island to Shannon.

Having quite a bit of difficulty with Pandora app casting to my Move issues are:

  1. If I open the app and I press the cast button, sometimes it takes 15 to 30 seconds to connect. Sometimes it doesn't connect at all. Sometimes it takes multiple presses to connect.

  2. In addition sometimes I'll get an error that says something like the Pandora app is being used by another account. I think this is due to if I have the Sonos app open and it's recognizing that the play menu on the Sonos app is actually playing through the Pandora app. It is somehow recognizing it as another account.

Anyone else having these experiences?

Is anyone else experiencing an extremely slow drawdown with this Fellow drop? I've been following the Aiden-recommended recipe and grind size, but it hasn't been giving me good results. This morning I switched to a Chemex using my Ode Gen 2 at a 7 grind setting 22g coffee at a 1:16 ratio with 96.5°C water and the whole pour-over took nearly seven minutes. Any thoughts or help?
