Wyze conspiracy theories

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. :slight_smile:

  • Conspiracty: I heard [a lot] that Wyze allegedly purposely ruins SD cards.
  • Conspiracy: I heard Wyze purposely releases firmware to brick old cameras so people will buy new ones
  • Conspiracy: Wyze is actually Xiaomi (This was a HUGE conspiracy for a long time)
  • Conspiracy: Wyze is owned by China
  • OPPOSITE CONSPIRACIES: Wyze is extremist left/right (I’ve seen lots of allegations both ways). Truth is, Wyze isn’t either. They’re a company and their mission isn’t political.
    • BTW, anyone who wants some entertainment lately, Wyze has been on a crazy funny witticism rampage on X lately. In the last few months Wyze has been getting trolled by all sorts of extremist tribes…first one side of political extremists were mad at Wyze, then the other side, then back to the other side, and back again. It’s been kind of funny with one side loving them and the other side mad at them and then it totally flips with the other side loving them and the other side mad at them. Recently Wyze hasn’t really cared about appeasing political sides and is simply taking any opportunity they can find to be witty and crack jokes and they’re starting to gain a lot of followers just from doing so many witty responses. It’s been hilarious. I won’t post examples since the forums need to keep politics and tribalism fighting out of them per the guidelines, but I’ve been laughing for months and have really like the recent focus on witty comments and trolling some competitors for fun.

Not related to Wyze, but there is this conspiracy in the Wyze forums:

  • There are people who think Wyze employees are spying on them through their cameras.
