    It's fascinating how Ring's business model benefits from local crime prevalence, which in turn might lead people to invest in home security.

That's an interesting point. The whole Ring ecosystem is kinda boosted by Amazon's other business too: leaving boxes on peoples front porches to be stolen. Amazon really knows how to grow a circular ecosystem huh?

A friend of mine recently made the excellent point that Ring also provides Amazon with surveillance footage of their own delivery service employees. Synergy!
Less cynically, if Ring suppresses package theft then people might be willing to order more packages.

tbh I prefer your version though.
