    Smart of them to make their spying devices a loss leader. Get even more rubes to buy one.

      seriously remember when these first came out circa 2014 and only wealthy people were buying them? Then Amazon saw what power they had in their hands recording all audio from within people’s homes, they brought the price down way low so even Neanderthals can have these now. Oh the spying possibilities!

      Like how they have a complete surveillance network of “Ring” devices on 98/100 homes in American suburbs?

      You’d think it was mandatory. It’s so creepy. I don’t even wanna think how many cameras catch me from all angles just walking down the street.

      Not a fan of how “meta” is swarming the VR market with loss-leader headsets either. Lord knows the kind of data they’re pulling from those things, and on top of it, they’re turning VR into another mobile-trash market in the process. But that’s another conversation.
