They rotate them across different SSIDs to make it harder to track you. in a residential setup they should basically never rotate.

I think all they can really say is it’s not on the near horizon, but every public company will enshittify at some point. I can’t see a future where the investors will be OK for anything but going public or an acquisition by a public company. It’s just a question of when, and when they start to turn the screw.

I’m not sensitive to either issue, but I’m glad for those that are!
