    Don’t buy products that require subscriptions for hardware you already bought

    This applies to cars as well

      I would like to see a legally mandated neon sticker informing customers if something needs an account and/or subscription to use the product.

        100%. That shit needs to be displayed like nutritional info or cigarette health warnings.

      While I agree, companies collude and soon we have no options.

      Moreover, companies often unilaterally decide to cripple something you already have a paywall it after the fact (case in point, this garbage bassinet)

      This is where regulation should come in and make this shit illegal
