    Someone pointed out that “flock” is named as such because its founders think of us as sheep. Imagine simping for those guys.

    Edit: not you but the guy above you

      I always figured it was a reference to the “birds work for the government” joke. That, or because birds tend to perch up on traffic lights and watch the traffic passing below. Or something about safety in numbers, because Flock’s biggest selling point is that after they hit a certain number of strategically placed cameras, avoiding them becomes nearly impossible.
