On mobile, it prompts you to either “get the app” or “open app” with no way to click past. Screenshot won’t upload.

This is worse from several months ago https://lemmy.today/post/8935690

    You should have permanently deleted dropbox files and account back when they announced they were using your files to train AI on.

    MEGA used to (maybe still does?) do this stuff. Once you changed useragent to desktop, magically a signup wasn’t required

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.
