They created a fast-food substitution product and have been trying to pass it off as the real thing. It's a hardware script kiddie device and that's exactly how their videos depict it.
I was always turned off by their approach since first seeing it in 2019. I've played with the device, get their facebook ads all the time, tried to change my mind about it but 5 years later I keep coming back to the same animosity towards it.
These are all easy to teach things and this thing shrouds that fact through product alienation intentionally distancing the user from any real hacker education and replacing it with animations and theatrics.
I'm cool being dismissed as a crank. They're obviously successful millionaires and I'm not.
It sounds more like gatekeeping to me rather than being cranky. Not saying you are actively doing so, but I'm not sure RFID and the likes are "easy to teach things". Quite the contrary, actually. So if this motivates some teens to go out possibly discover an affinity for hacking, it has done its job. That's my thought of this product anyway.
