With dynamic pricing, ad partnerships, add-on fees, etc., terms like “cheapest” mean nothing to me. Which, I assume, is why the word is in quotes in the headline to begin with.

I’m not convinced that cameras and Nextdoor are having a material impact on the vague idea of “trust between neighbors,” but I admit it’s hard to gauge because I only have my own experience, which exists on a potentially wide spectrum.

I’m barely on Nextdoor and was surprised to hear there’s apparently a pretty common use of it for public shaming. The potential for petty community conflict does seem heightened by some of these technologies.

Some of us buy printers because we have abuse and humiliation fetishes. My OfficeJet is the kinkiest product I own.
