You're going to pay, then pay again to subscribe, to look at anyone/anything around you. I fucking hate subscriptions. "You'll own nothing, and be happy."

Glassing with Permission Only: Next-Generation Binocular Will Make Users Pay to View Private Land

The new 10x50 PLOP from Next of Gen will leverage AI and mapping technology to impose digital property lines in the binocular's field of view.

"The PLOP is really saving the ‘Public Land Hunter’ from temptation, by keeping them from seeing the choice habitat and abundant wildlife on private lands unless they have a ClearView subscription"

I imagine the marketplace will cull these fuckers in short order, unless, say, the .gov were to mandate their use while they get their 10% for being "the Big Guy."

I hope its a giant FLOP

Astonishing but not surprised. I like the other guy's quote in the article "...a solution looking for a problem." I also hate the subscription model that everyone is adopting, it's terrible, but the implications for this type of technology...especially if incorporated into law and/or policy...what a mess.

Did you notice the April 1st post date, or even read the article…

It would actually be kind-of sweet to have some binoculars that showed where private land starts and public land ends. Not as sweet as people eating up your April fools joke though.

I didn’t think guys with Leica binoculars could get fooled so easily ;-)

I have Leica mini binoculars. I only got fooled a bit.

Hahah. Just realizing the joke now but in all fairness, would this surprise any of you? Because I wasn’t surprised.
