You may think it’s crazy talk, but the concept has already been patented.
I don’t think it’s “crazy”, I just gave you an example of something similar that actually exists.
I think it’s a bad business model, which is why I only gave you an example.
As opposed to the real stuff you should care about, which not only exists, but is widespread and nearly unavoidable. You don’t need to dig through patents in ragebait articles to be concerned about this for real reasons.
