And yet another ad, again featuring a guy arguing with his girlfriend. This company is cooked

I just got another one. This is real

So, I just got a YouTube ad for the pendant. I was surprised. It previously was advertised as a tool for meetings and work stuff, but this ad started with an actor saying "I am never defeated an argument now" and explaining that the pendant is there to record everything. Then a very fake argument with his "girlfriend" where she says "I never said that!" but he wears the pendant so he can own his bitch girlfriend with facts and logic.

From this I conclude two things:

1. Rewind is struggling, because they have to be trying to get consumers in the highly motivated demographic of "guys whose girlfriends lie about what they said previously." Perhaps an untapped market but I'm skeptical.

2. If I'm getting served YouTube ads, that makes it likely that others will too, and might sour on a "device that records everything."

Is this only sitting so high because of a general ban against recording devices?

First ones have shipped.

I highly doubt these will be a much talked about product when they release, much much less than Google Glass was. I 100% believe that AI will be a huge topic, but I just don’t believe in the pendant.

Two questions:

Q1: In the description, you say "within a year of its release", so if it gets banned before its release, then it doesn't count, correct?

Q2: Does the ban need to specifically to mention the Rewind pendant?

@kaiemon Q1, didn't think of that. It doesn't count.

Q2, no, as long as rewind pendants are functionally banned then market resolves yes.

@TiredCliche When you say "the answer must be yes", do you mean "yes, it doesn't count" or do you mean "it would make the question resolve yes"? If it is the former, does that mean it would resolve to No if the product doesn't release before the question close date?

@kaiemon Yes, it wouldn't count. As to the close date, I am going to set it to one year from the product release date, once the product is released.

Does it count if government agencies ban it due to security concerns? What about private companies? I doubt my employer would want me recording my meetings with this.

@MitchLindgren yes and yes. This is literally what this market is about. Like how some restaurants and stuff banned google glasses.

@TiredCliche I’m not talking about places like restaurants where the public is allowed to come in. I meant a private workplace like an office.

@MitchLindgren Yes, whether "public", or "private", any ban by an establishment will resolve YES.

Put a small buy order at 70% Yes, because all this needs is one bar in the Pacific northwest to put a sign up and it resolves Yes.
