This is not a nice person. You must defend yourself.

You know why you bought an Amazon Ring or a Google Nest video doorbell, don’t you?
Oh, there are supposedly some other benefits to getting a
Wyze Video Doorbell Pro
. The joy of the chime being included, for example. The delight of six months battery life, too.
But America is currently a country of permanent conflict. Our neighbors are no longer our friends. Our service people have no interest in making us happy. Even little children are programmed to cause us strife at any given moment.
Do you want a burning bag of excrement on your doorstep? No, of course you don’t.
We therefore, have to stand our ground and defend our personal peace with every piece of technology we can.
“Wyze Video Doorbell Pro, For Everything Out There,” says the ad.
What the company really means is: “Buy One Of Our Video Doorbells Because Other People Are Truly Awful And Disgusting.”
A far more honest strategy, that.
