Did people genuinely think they had created a bespoke bit of hardware? Wow.

That a bunch of idiots bought it to begin with should be telling enough.

Half of them are press. I’m starting to believe YouTubers are propping up obvious scams.

Just now catching onto that? Well let me make your day by saving you money with Honey!

(Don't actually download Honey. It's just a tracking service)

Actually Honey is way worse than that. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4yL3YTwWk

Its a tracking service that steals money intended for someone else. If you want to support your favourite youtuber and click on their affiliate link for a product you want to buy, honey swaps out the affiliate identifier with its own and then "shares" a fraction of what they steal with you. Honey is fucking cancer.

The idiocy never ceases to amaze me. Just when I think I've seen it all, they find a new and ridiculous way to exhibit it.

It’s happening in Australia now as well

Pauline Hanson raised 2.5 million dollars from a lot of really stupid Australians yesterday. Apparently it’s legit as well, though we’ll wait and see.

They probably thought it would be made of actual gold as well.
