It's fascinating how Ring's business model benefits from local crime prevalence, which in turn might lead people to invest in home security.
It is also fascinating how media companies are likely to pounce on the slightest of flaws(some malignant, and some innocuous) with either Nest or Ring, since it feeds on people's sense of security/safety again, and thus are likely to lead to more clicks.

That's an interesting point. The whole Ring ecosystem is kinda boosted by Amazon's other business too: leaving boxes on peoples front porches to be stolen. Amazon really knows how to grow a circular ecosystem huh?
A friend of mine recently made the excellent point that Ring also provides Amazon with surveillance footage of their own delivery service employees. Synergy!

I wouldn't characterize these flaws as slight. But I'm biased... I used to work in the security space, and I know culturally the typical engineer are less concerned, and non-technical people in the technology sector being fully deferential to product orgs in that respect.
