MODERATORS
I agree with the sentiment of this article and warranted suspicion of connected cameras but its weird that the writer just jumps to food delivery apps part way through and then straight back to doorbell cameras.
Also, what's this part supposed to mean?
The number of times a digital image is forwarded won't affect it's appearance.
It depends how you forward images. I assume they are referring to how many/most services (like whatsapp/discord/telegram etc) don't just send the original file, but do some compression to save data. Do this a bunch of times and you end up with a photo that starts to show noticeable artifacts/pixellation.
That's my take at least

There truly is an XKCD for everything
Is there an xkcd comic for when people find an xkcd comic for everything?

Nice. I feel the cycle is complete.
