    Not sure why you'd use this sketchy vibecoded proprietary app over the same thing that's open source and existed for a while

      &quot;even worse&quot;, I searched &quot;nearby glasses&quot; on app store, and it&#x27;s 2nd, under the ad sponsored &quot;ZuckOff&quot;

      and so I leave this comment as off topic, but, is it pretty easy to get your new app to appear in that ad slot, above the main contender?

        Yep, exact same experience here. ZuckOff is paying to rank above NearbyGlasses.

        I think these concerns are on topic, given the larger concern is about how bad actors can wield technology for profitable surveillance.
