My main concern is the audio and video recording devices that will undoubtedly be attached to these drones (if history is any guide, likely without any disclosure).

I foresee ads for rakes when Amazon notices that there are lots of leaves in my yard.

I don't know why people think this is a good thing right now.

How about just force-delivering a rake with free return?

I admire the way you think. It's horrifying, and disturbing, but I still admire it.

My first thought was "well, maybe you do need a rake". But I guess it probably can't see into your shed/garage/etc to know whether you actually have a rake or not. Ads for things you already have are such a waste.

God forbid I exist for a moment without being bombarded with offers to buy products.

I would gladly trade the inconvenience of not being immediately aware of rake-buying opportunities for privacy and peace of mind.
