I just realised that I am in fact subscribed to this. Fuck that!
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 WOULD NEVER
subscribe to a car. I am subscribed to a three wheeled bicycle helmet service.
three wheeled bicycle helmet service.
..what do you need wheels on your helmet for?
I don't. I subscribe because it's a service I believe in.
Please explain your three-wheeled bicycle helmet service.
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?
Yup! You're in the right Lemmy community for that! Express all your "smart" laundry machine grievances in [email protected]
You say that like I own a washing machine.
Well I was talking to dohpaz42, not you.
I was gonna subscribe to this blief too, but the iront was too much
LOL are you drunk right now
i do not subscribe to alcoholism
Well then what would you ascribe your typos to?
I think they're trying to be irontic
I do.
What web UI are you using?
Looks like Sync app
Yes, Sync app, dark mode
thanks!
Are you subscribed to it?
I installed the app but it costs me $0
I subscribed. I really shouldn't be here, should I...
It seems, you're not the first: https://lemmy.world/post/4640440

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.
