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.

Ima a bit of a hypocrit there. I prefer Siri, configured with push to talk, so it’s not always listening, it’s processed mostly on device, and it’s controlled by a company that’s not in the advertising business and markets their products on privacy.
…. But also having Alexa listening in in every room is so damn convenient
Note to people who didn’t think there was new features in Apple’s recent announcement: the new watch has enough CPU that they will now be doing voice processing on device for that as well
