It tracks what you spend your money on. It sends us all this information, we save it, and provide it to the government when they ask. How about that?
us: That's Orwellian. It's a complete violation of privacy and likely illegal. I would never consent to that.
them: You can take selfies with it and play Cow Clicker on it.
us: I'll give you $500 for it.
them: There's a more expensive version where when people message you you can see if they are using the cheap version or the expensive version.
us: I'll give you $1000 for the expensive version.
them: The "pro" version takes better selfies.
us: I'll give you $1500 for the "pro" version.
them: You can only store 75,000 selfies on the "pro" version but you can upgrade to storage for 300,000 selfies.
us: I'll give you $2000 for the upgraded version.
them, 6 months later: There's a new tracking device out, it's the same as the one you have but it comes in Sierra Blue.
us: I'll give you another $2000.
them: But wait! There's more!
