There isn’t that much precious metal in a small camera. The meme is about encouraging scrappers who steal,things to get scrap metal convinced it’s true and have them destroy the network. So, trying to con some criminals for the good of society.

    Stop calling them criminals. They defend our right of privacy.

    No, they don't do that. The meme is a joke to guide them to do that. They steal. Wiring, bricks, car parts. Sometimes from corporates but more often from people or small businesses who dont have security guards. Let's not glamorise theft of property that is not privacy invasive.

    I see... Another "quick win" makes a little sense then too, sorry.

    This won't last enough, I believe, and may result in permanent distrust even. The person who believed you will eventually realize you lied to them, and why should they trust you in the future?

    Meaning, why start from a lie in the first place? A foundation built on a lie eventually collapses, and the people who trusted that lie are often the ones who get hurt the most.

    Since you clearly have a message people value, that is, current terrible privacy issues, why not give them a better start, an actual path with a reason to trust you, the purpose and idea, for the long run by carrying the truth instead?

    So "it's just a meme bro!" Is the new "it's just a joke bro!"?
