In the beginning, we had #Glassholes 👉🏻 https://www.404media.co/meta-ray-ban-smart-glasses-pov-instagram-pickup-artists/ and it was bad! 🤮
Then we got #PervPods https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/17/camera-equipped-airpods-macos-26-7/ and it was truly awful! 🤮
How do we call now then the Glassholes and the PervPods when it's one AND the same nasty wanker?!?!
Any suggestions, please?
