I'll say as clearly as possible. I will go to extraordinary expense to avoid subscriptions in cars. If I have to spend 30k making an old car run and be road worthy, I'll do it solely out of spite. I can take this quite far: there is a lifetime Spotify ban in my entire household because the early Spotify client paused advertisements if you turned the volume off.
- tehlike 2y agoRemote start is not needed to make the car roadworthy.
- stvltvs 2y agoI don't think OP was saying subscriptions for road worthiness but rather that they would go out of their way to spite car makers if they try to force subscriptions on us. See "Fuck Me Money".
- ryandrake 2y agoProblem is: How many people are like you? Not enough. We can't rely on a few individual principled actors to influence an entire industry where people's full time job is to oppose those principles. The free market is not going to solve this problem, unfortunately.
- hysan 2y agoBefore even getting to that question, I think we need to ask - How many people have the means to do that? I probably would if I could, but I certainly don’t and I’m sure many more fall under that same bucket.
- EasyMark 2y agoYeah I’m keeping my boring AF no internet connection car until it blows up and I can’t fix what’s left after the explosion.
