Basically, the glasses are flock. Only we buy and mount the cameras ourselves.
I’m not surprised people consent to this. Meta must be giggling. (They’ll buy and mount the flock cameras themselves!) We are where we are as consumers because people keep throwing their money at bullshit they think they need but do not.
But my music! You’re renting, at best. And now they’re just computer generating slop for you. You know this yet still pay.
But my movies! Did you buy them on disc? No? Then you didn’t buy. You rented. And they could disappear tomorrow. (Clicks to fake buy another movie).
Games? Yeah I slow boiled into Steam myself, though I no longer buy. I have my library, for now, until the current CEO dies and it becomes a sub or something.
Audible? Go ahead. Try to gift your account to someone, or a library, when you die. It’s not your stuff.
Glasses? But look, I have access through the app! You’re not alone.
We made this happen through our dollar votes. That is how we got here. Idk what to do about games, apart from what is available on GOG. But, if I buy movies or music, it’s on disc or LP. Granted the latter is now more difficult because the younger generation uses them as wall ornaments en masse.
