#112This thing has been an absolute nightmare since it was released 18 months ago. I've had a few people contact me (note: https://buttplug.io (NSFW) is my project, I get contacted about stuff like this all the time, someday I will write a book about various support stories) with their hardware stuck on. There have been multiple security issues reported, and the company really seems to have no clue how to deal with the t…
Smart consumers won't buy a $10 memory card on Ali because it's likely to be a destructive fake, but people will buy Internet-controlled electronics for their favorite nether regions of their bodies. Amazing. I guess that's part of the thrill.
The article says they sold 40,000 of these things

It's more about a lack of available reputational signals. There's little brand awareness and few people are willing to review such intimate products. With electronics you can go by manufacturer if nothing else, intimate products often don't even have branding.
What would a sufficient reputational signal be?
The internet of things doesn't have any of the stigma that this has; and I still wouldn't trust it to run lightbulb.
With something that attaches to your body 24/7, it sounds like you would want something on the order of medical grade assurances because, if something goes wrong, it has the potential to cause medical problems.

#115While the headline certainly is having a device like this needing to be ground open the other privacy concerns are quite possibly worse. Being able to track both the name of who bought it and the location of someone using a device like this has got to be a near classic example of private information that hurts no one but could severely damage a person if it got out.
Look at the map, one of the sample users is in Qatar!
This could end way really, really badly; it is even more concerning after reading about the recent grinder fiasco with the Egyptian government.

#116Someone once told me that these cock cage devices are more dangerous than they seem. Some of these fetishists wear them for weeks or months so that they arent able to get a full erection for a long period of time. It's all fun and games until they finally take it off and realize it's not the same. It turns out if you don't use it, you lose it.

That sounds fairly urban legendy, though it can depend on the user and their anatomy, of course.
I know many people who've used or worked with these devices for years and that has not been the case for them.
That said, due to the types of cage mechanics, weight and makeup of different cage materials, etc, there is definitely the possibility of some physical issues, including some nerve issues. It usually just things like skin irritations and discomfort though.
These days, there are a LOT of knockoffs of the major brands (like the Holy Trainer series) that are made with seriously questionable materials that don't have temperature tolerance/reforming, are missing edge filleting, etc. So if you do decide to engage in this sort of play, do your homework, read reviews, talk to communities, and don't order some random cheap thing off AliExpress.

Is it the consumer buying them, or retailers/drop-shippers buying them to resell?
the article notes that it's 40k registered users as per the api.

I’d be more worried about blood clots, but what do I know?
