You bought the hardware. Now you’ll need to subscribe for “expanded access” to the most advanced features.

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
Buy a sub to be spied on. Magic.
If you saw someone wearing them and you started playing a copywrited song would that make them not able to publish the content?
deleted by creator
Even better if some legend made a copywrited song called Meta glasses users are arseholes. and it becomes the tune that lingers around these people.
I lived very happily for 60 years without all Meta crap, I can still live without it.
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.
