Lol, lmao even
Did they think it would be free forever
Yes, they probably did. Isn't facebook and other meta shit still free?
I don't know, just assuming it still is.
Even pitchfork locked their album reviews behind a paid subscription.
It's like everyone's hurrying to get some of people's money, before Trump takes everything from everyone.
Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram - they aren't free, you feed them with your most private data.
he probably realized he cant datamine enough people, because nobody would buy the glasses.
I can’t believe that they were ever free. Lol.
Not the glasses themselves but the functions provided
You know what? People who use those are idiots. The moment you see a person wearing those its like a big LED sign - I AM AN IDIOT with caps on.
or a big creep, alot of people would buy this to record women/men as part of thier collection.
Don't even want to think about it.
i remember there was a sub where someone posted a rando guy on the sub because of the attractiveness, the op was quickly chatised by the people for taking without permission, and likely taken down or banned. and it was done scretively with a phone.
We finally awake now? Will we stop buying dumbing tech from scammers? How much more restricted do our lives need to get before we finally say no more?
Not enough people using these for that to be the case. Needs to be something the vast majority of people rely on daily for the pleebs to start realizing what that smell is.
Another problem is that the youngest today will never know ownership just subscriptions, so why fight something when you never knew there was an alternative.
Yeah, like with personal motor vehicles.
You all remember when it turned out leaded gasoline and tire dust were poisoning everyone and the cities filled with smog and noise pollution and commute times increased because everything had to be further apart for parking lots and arterial roads and traffic jams and entire neighborhoods were demolished and millions of businesses went bankrupt because foot traffic died out because all the cars and asphalt made it intolerable to be outside a car and children became unable to safely play outside and sedatery lifestyles lead to obesity and a massive loss of people's ability to just do physical things and everybody's lives noticeably got worse over a single lifetime, that people rebelled and stopped the motor industry?
One more reason why it's so important for jailbreaking to be legal.
Yes, but more important, don't buy creepy spy glasses. This kind of glasses seems specifically designed for perverts.
If someone has a need to film in 1st person while doing sports or another activity, get a gopro.
Glassholes
If you saw someone wearing them and you started playing a copywrited song would that make them not able to publish the content?
I lived very happily for 60 years without all Meta crap, I can still live without it.
Buy a sub to be spied on. Magic.
if I see anyone wearing these... they are being thrown in the sewer
The person, the creepy sex offender glasses, or both?
at first it was a gambling app, and now charging a subscription. ZUCKERBERG is in the death throes.

What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
