Ring camera doorbells. Dumbest invention ever.

Absolutely no benefits to the owner. Increased anxiety, increased emotional workload, increased risk of domestic abuse, increased fear of the outside world.

Increased risk of domestic abuse? How?

@InOtterWords you're feeling trapped at home and want to talk to someone about it, so you invite a friend over. As she arrives your phone rings and it's him

"Why is she over? I don't like her. Why didn't you tell me she was coming. I'm coming home she's a bad influence on you"

You decide the next day to go out to visit someone, your phone rings

"Where are you going?"

You decide to leave in the middle of the night while he's asleep so you can avoid his temper, you open the door quietly so as not to wake him, but then you hear the notification on his phone as the doorbell camera informs him someone is by the front door.
