    Obviously the existence of these pedo glasses is problematic to say the least, but aren’t they also super expensive? How the hell are kids able to afford these?

    In Australian dollarydoos they start from $469. What teenager is spending $469 on anything?

      Same way I spent $350 on a new iPod in high school back in the 2000s. Worked a part time job after school and on weekends.

      No rent or bills makes it easy.

      well parents in the states already gift thier young teens expensive iphones/samsung phones as a way to communicate with them. meta glasses isnt a stretch. milleneals had the benefit of graduating hs before smartphones became common.
