But how do you make the average consumer understand that they should be angry about this?

    I don't think it's a matter of understanding (the seller can just arbitrarily choose to break what I bought from them is a simple concept), I think it's a matter of exposure. As long as their things keep working for what feels like long enough to them, they won't even see this happening.

    And the average consumer isn't tech saavy enough to do what this guy did to get it remotely bricked in the first place.
