Totally. Well, Amazon, but yeah. I was aware of it.
I don’t know. In a world where I’m constantly having to walk away from cool things because of stupid politics being hamfisted in, or flat-out things that are bad, I just kind of wanted to enjoy something this once. That came out kind of frustrated, but it’s true.
Plus, if you have a tablet or a decently advanced phone, you’re already carrying around a far-field hot mic with privacy issues, and most of us are doing that. That, and I suppose that if we mic our own houses, and control the mics, it’s better than the world governments doing that on their own. That’s my rationalization anyway.
