I agree. I think my anecdote illustrates the perversions of the renter's market, and the interaction with the Internet of Crap, more than it illustrates the IoC in general. A lot of people buy into this stuff and never realize it: they put it in their tenant's home and forget about it.

I'm not complaining about the package I got with the rental: like any packaged service you have to take the good with the bad. But when things are packaged, a lot of the bad wasn't up to the consumer.
