@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).

@jasper89@mastodon.social @lukeratta@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social Yes, came here to say this. The ongoing costs of broadcasting content mandate a consistent revenue stream. A heated seat has no ongoing external costs.
