Well, the bots do. Like 90% of viewbotting, click farming, follower buying etc is sold by people running phone farms.

The last time this happened resulted in gun control laws as well.

why are they allowed to beta test this shit on public roads

Yeah what kind of dumbass would willingly do stupidly selfish shit that will certainly bring doom to themselves and others but might, if they’re lucky, make sure they get a better outcome than everyone else?

I’ve slogged through many boring sections in otherwise good books where I experienced this.

You’re right. Better to treat neither and let the disease kill you.

Yeah if you’re just robbing them then the equipment itself is probably worth more than scrap metals. Harder to fence, maybe.

Well, some people did something, but it wasn’t to try and prevent this.

Damn, that sucks. If it’s so much trouble to collect free infinite money by gatekeeping a basic need then maybe you should just rid yourself of this terrible burden.

More of a technical limitation than an intentional choice, but sure.

That would work if you were rich and friends with government officials. I don’t like your chances otherwise.
