Serves people right for subscribing to a fucking doorbell.

I remember when you could buy something and own it. Not everything needed a subscription!

If you don’t use the cloud storage, and just use the ‘fucking doorbell’ live, then there’s no need to pay a subscription.

The subscription is for cloud video storage and access which have an ongoing cost. It’s not that different to buying a router or modem and having to pay a monthly subscription for your internet use.

Meanwhile they still sell the data of you and anyone unfortunate enough to walk in front of it.

All in the name of security and “legitimate interest”.

Subscriptions are cancer, don’t be a mug and cancel if you’re unhappy with the price increase. People aren’t made of money and EVERYTHING is turning into a subscription nowadays.

The only problem with subscriptions is the idiots that buy them. If everyone said “Fuck you” they’d disappear overnight

I cancelled my subscription, I only really need to use the live view anyway which you get for free.

You get live view for free, they get information about your comings and going, and your face, and your gait. All valuable information that you aren’t being fairly compensated for.

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
