Fish Story

 People go to great lengths to make sure their pets are entertained when they are left alone which on the surface seems like a kind thing to do but can a person rely on their pet to do the right thing? A Japanese YouTuber set up his betta's tank with his Nintendo Switch so it could play Pokemon by swimming to different areas of the tank which were outfitted with sensors. What could go wrong? A malfunction while he was playing Pokemon Violet caused the Nintendo to return to its home screen which then interpreted the fish's movements to buy points,reveal credit card information on live stream,download an app to play Nintendo 64 games,spend the reward points on a new avatar and changed his owners account name. Oddly enough when the owner contacted Nintendo they refunded the $3.85 the fish had spent,I don't know about everyone else but it sounded kind of fishy to me.
