Impressive what you can pull off with gullible victims that buy internet-of-shit devices.
Imagine someone was to sell you a digital picture frame for 160€$ - yes, expensive - but for just 2€$ per month on top, it even allows you to display your own pictures! What a sweet deal.
Now imagine - if you can - that they cease to offer this feature and decide to display ads instead of your pictures. On your digital picture frame. Which you paid for to have in your home.
