    Only if there’s a lack of competition in that market. For most devices, you’re just flat out wrong.

      Damn that $2_000 fridge must be super awesome for it to have no competition. That explains the ads on it.
      No, you’re wrong. You pay more and still get shafted. I’m not saying that all products are like that, but the number of products that still show you ads and gobble your data while also becoming prohibitively expensive is ever increasing.
      We’re in that nice transition phase where you can spend $200 or $3000 on a TV but your privacy is gone either way.
