Dystopia notwithstanding, Ring's commercial about using their surveillance to find lost pets makes no sense.
They say 10M pets are lost per year & their service finds "more than 1 dog per day." So let's even say generously 500 dogs per year.
Out of 10M lost pets, they want Americans to commit privacy suicide for a .005% success rate???
"We fail 99.995% of the time! Let us violate your privacy!" is a helluva way to burn $10M in ads and destroy your brand.
I'm uninstalling my RING today.
