When the company has an ongoing cost - such as they have to make new content every year, then it makes sense for you to pay an ongoing cost each month.
But when the company has no mandatory ongoing cost it makes ZERO sense to pay them rent.

Yep, like BMW charging to use your heated seats.

That's interesting. My LG TVs don't do that, but I have never accepted their user agreement. Have you?
Mine sit behind a pair of AppleTVs with no network access of their own so their ad BS is hidden from me, and the TVs don't keep asking for a network.

Submission + - British Transport Police Decriminalize Bicycle Theft (bbc.com) 8
An anonymous reader writes: The British Transport Police (BTP) says it will not investigate bike thefts outside stations where the bicycle has been left for more than two hours.
Commuters leave thousands of cycles on racks outside stations every day, including in specially built bike parks with CCTV. Critics say the BTP policy means those facilities are not secure and theft has effectively been decriminalised.
Any bikes stolen worth less than £200 will not be investigated, neither will car thefts if the vehicle has been left for more than two hours.

Will the fee also stop Facebook's AI slop, reels and other crap from people you don't know?
Never mind, it still won't bring me back. I take a look once in a while and it's 99% crap. Even people I'm interested in who do post don't show up in my feed, which totally defeats the purpose of the bloody thing.
FB is dead and it doesn't attract young people at all anymore. Insta will follow in due course.
Insta will follow when it's filled with all of the parents who have "graduated" from Facebook.
That being said, I wonder if paying for no ads includes no tracking across the internet, and no selling of the user's data. After all, the "if it's free you're the product" mantra doesn't (heh...shouldn't) apply any more.
