      BWAH-ha-HA-HA! I still find it humorous I’m refusing to subscribe, upon pure principle.

      let me guess, you’re also subscribed to Amazon prime, and you have a BMW with a monthly subscription to use the heated seats option you already paid for 🤣

      just kidding. i hope.

        I bought a washer and a dryer that just so happens to include WiFi for “smart” features. I refuse to use the smart features because I’d have to subscribe to their cloud services. It’s not worth it to me. And who needs WiFi on laundry?

            I don’t. I subscribe because it’s a service I believe in.

Naming and shaming all “recurring spending models” where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.

Expect use of strong language.

Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.

No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they’re spineless corporate shills.

Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite camgirl creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.

New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It’s so you can think about what it’s like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can’t use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn’t read this fine print? You should read what you’re agreeing to.
