@atpfm@mastodon.social Marco defending subscriptions to use hardware that you’ve already purchased definitely wasn’t on my bingo card.

@lukeratta@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social Key differentiator that I believe was missed with the Sirius XM example: They have ongoing costs to pay for talent, media, satellites, staff, etc. It's the same as why a subscription for an app is tenable. Perfectly good hardware that *only* fails to function because of a subscription is not tenable (i.e. wiring and buttons to turn on seat heat).

@lukeratta@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social when you’re making a living from an app subscription model and you pay zero $’s for it’s content… you can only hide your contradictions so much.
