"I actually feel very vulnerable not being able to check my cameras before I go to bed"

"I am missing many moments at home now !!"

"I have no clue if someone is breaking in now"

"The one time we decide to put the puppy downstairs on his own, we can’t even make sure he’s ok. Never mind our doorbell picking up people who have no business being there"

"Would have been great to at least have a view of the robbers if they came to my house, u know. What a 'Ring' is supposed to be used for."

Do ya think? I'm suprised and saddened by these reactions.

I'm saddened, but not even a little surprised.

Ring's marketing is one of the many things that are contributing to the increasing isolation and alienation of people from each other.

I don't know, it really enhances the sense of community I feel when every third house says "Hi, you're being recorded" as I walk by.

It's got understated irony that somehow tends to sarcasm at the same time. It's very hard to unpack yet delicious.

Believer or not I'm sure you can use your ears if someone's breaking into your house and sure you will hear it,

And people still say "land of the free, home of the brave" very un-ironically.

This is the world we live in now, yikes. Citizen app feels like another tendril of the same beast.
