As someone who owns about eight of them, I don't see how you could love Tile. They have a ridiculous profit margin and the company likes to engage in asshole practices like making it so getting a notification when you lose connection with a tile is a fucking monthly subscription. Companies that charge for things which cost them literally zero dollars deserve to burn to the ground.


Last time I checked their parent company's financials, they made almost as much revenue from selling to data brokers as they did from hardware sales


And these are all under the control of the worlds largest surveillance capitalism advertising company...


Hmmm if all that is true why do you have so many of them?


They were the only option at the time.
