Fuck Subscriptions
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.

We share all our streaming services and so far nothing has happened because we don't use smart televisions but only dumb monitors connected to PC/laptop. They can't figure us out. I don't think I will ever use a tv again, first because we do not watch live tv anymore, second because smart TVs spy on us and on top try to put ads on and other shite. A mini PC in the living room looks cute, can play anything including local data and they can't tell if accounts are shared.
