I love how they call their customers free users. Not like you bought the product or anything. Look if they start handing this hardware out for free then its a different story. Call me a free user. Don't call me a free user when I absolutely had to pay to use it
"Free User" - People who bought a 900$ camera
"Download more RAM" is a thing of past. Now it is "Subscribe for more RAM"
Play at 0.75 speed to cancel the time-dilation caused by the singularity at the centre of Mr. Rossman's mind.
"You will own nothing, and you will be happy" Companies are taking small steps in that direction everyday.
When Canon banned 3rd party manufacturers from making AF RF lenses I immediately stopped considering them for any purchases whatsoever. Watching this video makes me even more convinced that I don't want anything to do with Canon.
Sony stopped my perfectly good third-party batteries from working with a firmware "update". Now I get a nag screen I have to click on every time I turn the camera on. That has made me miss shots with my $3k camera.
Product manufacturers should be forced to place 'subscription required' in large font on their packaging, otherwise they should be banned from ever requiring a subscription for that product, ever.
We call this the pay pay! 😊 you pay for the item and you pay again to use it.
This is just more evidence that the whole "software as a subscription" thing can't die soon enough.
From a software dev perspective, the claim that it took extra work to unlock 1080p capabilities over 720p and therefore should cost a fee for you to use it is BS. 720p is just scaled down from the native res.
I'm a Nikon and Fuji shooter, but I was looking at a Canon for my future camera. Not anymore. Canon's blacklisted for life now. I will also make sure to make my students aware of this inexcusable anti-consumer exploitation next time I teach a photography course, which should be about in a month or so.
I love how your cat demonstrates what a subscription model looks like
Did you speed this up? I had to check my settings....
As a non native English speaker, I hope one day I'll be as fluent and fast as you are Louis
$5 here, $10 there, $20 elsewhere etc. No one has unlimited money, its unfeasible.
You know how when toys are sold they have to have a disclaimer on the box or advertising that says "batteries not included." Why are these companies not held to that same standard? All advertising and containers for these products should come with a clear message (on the front of the box) saying "functionality/software not included."
Devices like this need to have their software cloned and cracked and an open source solution put in place
