What strikes me as amazing, is that 5000 people actually found daily use out of this abomination lol
is it 5000 consistent users or is it 5000 randos that on any given day tries turning it on to see if it was all in their head and actually these devices were kinda useful. then they don't use it again because no actually, it really is that bad
