It's the equivalent of owning random crap in your house you never use, except it's not in your own private space, but occupying public space that can't be used by other people anymore since someone already "claimed" it, just because they had too much money to waste (and no social responsibility at that)

IT'S A TRAP! But it's a good example to unmask the shadiness of subscription models in general: Once you fall for it, the scammers latch on & are hard to get rid of again.

What they're selling here is basically a SaaS, since the earbuds simply stop working as soon as you stop paying (I doubt they got it settled legally though).

pretty kiwi (the green variant)

The "successful" ones really make a lot of money off it, so their personality is pretty much their product (you could call it a form of prostitution)

"It's likely that the system is detecting melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, in ways that science has yet to discover"

The article is more about incomprehensibility than inaccessibility, but the point still stands

I don't think studying hard will get you to Hogwarts though, if you're just a muggle that is
