      That and Dyson might just be preemptively killing it in the wake of the FTC forcing Razer to refund buyers of its smart mask

        Almost 7 thousand people bought one?! That’s crazy, it was a meme product!

          It wasn’t being marketed and sold as a meme product. It was being marketed and sold as critical safety equipment.

          On top of that, it was being sold during a pandemic when such equipment was being used continuously by large segments of the population.

          It shouldn’t be surprising that large numbers of people bought it; the company selling it lied to those people to trick them into buying it.
