Ponies are supposed to shit. It’s more like if the pony came strapped with ill-fitting saddlebags that leak toxic chemicals.
Yeah that was kinda my point :) A cloud controlled device from a tech giant is supposed to ~~shit on the floor~~ start doing ads and invade your privacy. It's what they do. Like ponies pooping, you should expect it on purchase.
No. It's more as if you had to pay for the pony to get it, and then:
If you want to ride the pony, that's $2. The saddle has a coin slot to pay. It also has spikes poking both you and the pony if you don't pay. Any time you get off, the spikes relock, requiring another payment to unlock.
This is the exact same situation minus the animal cruelty part and with money being swapped with time.
Yeah, but it's like you bought the ponies at Shit-R-Us
