No, I’m talking about years ago. it was just something that I remembered happening. Almost 20 years ago… games and ringtones and other things (can’t remember) had just started being a thing on people’s phones. kids started playing on parents phones, and the companies saw an opportunity to milk them… They got away with it for a while too until pressure became too much that laws were made. I’ve no sympathy for any parents that would allow their kids access to things like that nowadays either, and don’t personally know anyone that it happened to years ago, but I remember the stories in the news. It was a time when the tech companies took advantage of their headstart over average parents. Nothing new to what’s happening now, except hopefully people are a bit more aware of how unscrupulous they are, but they don’t seem to be.

‘The cloud’ is the biggest scam going in terms of locking people into subscriptions nowadays, and that was heavily pushed as something that everyone should get/use/want.
