Cheese and I were on a similar track earlier, we were discussing the subscription business model. I get it, but sometimes/most of the time I'd rather just pay to own the product and then in a couple of years pay for the upgrade. That led into discussion about how that incentivized making a newer better product every few years to make money instead of suckling the subscription teat and never revamping your product while simultaneously selling all your personal data.

We have cancelled most of the subscription services we once enjoyed because of the privacy issues, and the rising costs. Privacy is important, but I agree that the only way is to become a recluse, live off grid, and never see family or friends that have cameras 🤷‍♀️. Limited exposure seems to be our best option for now.

If you made it this far, enjoy your day and do something that brings you joy! 🫂💜
