Obviously by far the #1 in these forums is that “x” issue is intentional to force you to subscribe.
Another popular one is that Reolink is god’s gift to the world (OK maybe that’s more of my pet peeve than a conspiracy theory).
@carverofchoice is an AI bot
@Antonius has trained various wild animals to do his bidding
Any I’ve missed?
I think you might actually be a frog that they hooked up to a computer a-la Johnny Mnemonic.
I’ve also heard some pretty juicy rumors about the hazing ritual of new @Mavens by the @Mods.
No but seriously the “Wyze did this intentionally to force subscriptions” is really tiring. The one and only case where that is true is closing Cam Plus Lite, and there was no secret as to why they did it, and letting existing users stay grandfathered in, and allowing them to add as many cams as they want to it, contradicts that there is some conspiracy to force people to subscriptions. Some day they’ll cut it off, but so far they’ve been pretty generous with it.
OK maybe elimination of RTSP was calculated as well. Again, doesn’t seem like any big secret or conspiracy - and there are also security reasons behind that too most likely.
But saying it is the reason for every bug (or user error) is just dumb.
I get a kick out of this one a lot, but people have ACTUALLY 100% really thought I was a Wyze-created bot since even before ChatGPT existed. So this one always really entertains me.
A derivative conspiracy of this one is that my account is secretly an employee acting as a user and later a Maven, instead of an automated bot.
Time that would have been better spent doing a few of the wishlist topics. Thanks a lot Mr 
So to put it more terse:
Theory #6 - @carverofchoice is a Wyze spy.
This seems like less of a Wyze conspiracy theory and more of a dig at @bryonhu. 
I may have been accused of this more than once:
He’s supposed to be training them in sign language:
See what I mean? 
Hey, I didn’t mention names, mostly to avoid this thread getting crapped to death.
Though that is conspiracy theory #7, my own, that that particular user is an employee, possibly part owner, of Reolink. Though I think there is sufficient evidence to back that one up.
I was just about to come add this one:
= Crease and I are secretly the same person
What happens in the secret Wyze Maven cave, stays in the secret Wyze Maven cave. 
Yeah, this is the biggest one. It will always be there. People will always say it and believe it. Part of the problem is that there are lots of examples of other companies doing exactly that, even Apple and Samsung purposely sabotaging their phones (batteries, CPU, RAM, etc) to force people to get frustrated and buy new ones. Lots of shady real examples like even from huge companies, so people are just jaded and assume all for-profit companies do the same thing and they will see confirmation for it even in places it’s not true. Like you said, every bug, etc..
They have been pretty straightforward throughout the time this existed that it was an experiment. They were hoping it would be successful and enough people would pay for it so they could expand it to all cameras, etc. It wasn’t successful. Turns out, if you allow people to choose what they pay, hardly anyone pays, and it loses money. It is what it is. They told us it was an experiment and they were optimistic about it’s future, but if the numbers don’t work out, then they don’t work out. At least they’re still grandfathering it (let it continue for those who have it), but I don’t like that they are making it incompatible with new subscriptions so you can never get it back again later.
I heard a rumor that @TomG sends skunk assassins to attack people.
‘Wyze officially declared the v1 an antique so it could stop supporting it.’
Half true.
‘Wyze is a Chinese 
company.’
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
What, it was REALLY BIG once. The BIGGEST.
So, what, I should have let sleeping frogs lie?
Hell, it’s clearly false, if it was Chinese, EVERYTHING WOULD WORK! 
You’re almost ruining the fun by being so general here. I started coming up with lots of conspiracies but lots of them fall under this one. I think we should list them all anyway as a sub-conspiracy of this one. 
Not related to Wyze, but there is this conspiracy in the Wyze forums:
You beat me to the China thing because I was typing too much at once 
From what I recall reading, early on, some Chinese servers were involved (I’m guessing low cost hosting), and that when you did a reverse lookup on the IP, it came back to the Chinese government/military. If that is true (not sure if it is), people need to understand that in a Communist state, everything is owned by the government, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if DNS comes back to something government/military related.
The story as I read it goes that so many people were freaked out by it that they moved to the low cost US hosting companies (that we see get blocked by Xfinity and others frequently) and now AWS. Of course with AWS, while you can see where you onboard to AWS, you don’t know where your data is actually going. Maybe direct to Xi’s room of monitors.
Well I chose to skip some of the ones that are clearly mentally ill people. That’s for a separate paranoia thread.
There are just too many to list out. Just today someone said the inability to view playback outside of their network was intentional. I believe the same person said the poor playback of their SD card recordings was also intentional.
I think I recall someone saying some of the connectivity issues are intentional to force people to buy Wyze routers too. From what I’ve seen, that would actually make it worse
‘Wyze founders killed Elana because there weren’t enough yachts to go around (and they didn’t want to share!)’
Cannot determine definitively. Paywall prevents.
You’re welcome. 
So they could be Mavens, too?
Awesome! The more, the merrier! 
‘(Wyze’s proprietary) millimeter waves are your friend and would never hurt you.’
Probably true, but I’m not sure their products even use millimeter waves. Yet.
As if we needed more
