@flexion @roobre it's classical #Enhittification...
Not everything needs to have #Cloud or #Blockchain or #Microtransactions or to be #Online...
There's hardly anything that needs #aws to add #value to a product or service...
I can imagine several scenarious, but none involve #Tamagotchi-Relaunches or shit like the #Juicero which got almost $ 1/8B or $125M from Google in funding...
IOW: If that's not evidence the #GAFAMs have more cash than sense, then we should give up as species existing.

@roobre @flexion this is just absurd #Enshittification.
It's like the #Juicero: only #ValueRemoving bs is tagged on!

@Polychrome SO FECKING TRUE!
Remember: #Google threw $120M on #Juicero and #Meta nee #Facebook threw billions into the inevitably failing #Metaverse bullshit!

@gretared @kuba @FediThing @tkinias @rysiek @intelwire yeah, I mean at this point it's not even #scamming the #GAFAM|s but rather being smart in expliting them.
Just like #Google wasted $120M in #Juicero...

@gonsalves this is just absurd and rubs me the wrong way...
Like #juicero did...
@NireBryce For comparison:
#Google threw $120.000.000 after #Juicero!
For real...

And I thought #Juicero was a stupid idea:
#Bodega is yet another #Startup made by #TechBros [obviously Ex - #Google cuz they're too bad to be kept!] who do the #flatev of #shopping:

@zakiuem @chadloder I guess #Musk will have the fastest #BurnRate in terms of #Money, making #Juicero look like a genius investment in comparison...
Imagine what could've been done with $44B instead of "owning the transes" in retaliation for his ex being now happy with a trans woman.
#Juicero #Money #BurnRate #Musk
@FuchsiaShock personally I refuse to buy #InternetOfShit devices if the sales person / store / manufacturer can't answer me the somple question of "WHY does it have #WiFi / #Bluetooth / "#Cloud" bullshit?"
Most of the time it's just to spy on consumers and implement shitty always-online - #DRM like with the #juicero:

@rose_alibi I haven't, but after the #Juicero, I was kind of expecting anything from Silicon Valley. Hammers phoning home and logging data ("BANG", "BANG", "BANG"), yay.
