Yes, yes, keep at it internet commenters
keep making fun of people for being stupid and poor
that way, when it happens to you and you can't just throw more money at the problem to escape, everyone will make fun of you for being a dumb rich brat
we'll all hate each other's guts, and absolutely nothing will be done to fix our problems. Doesn't that just sound lovely? Aren't we so happy that's the kind of society we've been building?
Rich or poor, getting screwed sucks. Rage at the screwdrivers, not the screwed

@JoeKyser

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

@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece

"Free User" - People who bought a 900$ camera

"Download more RAM" is a thing of past. Now it is "Subscribe for more RAM"

"You will own nothing, and you will be happy"
Companies are taking small steps in that direction everyday.

@garreswe

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.

@drelephanttube

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.

@Skobeloff...

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.

@MyGSunny

We call this the pay pay! 😊 you pay for the item and you pay again to use it.

@NumptyMcNumptyface

This is just more evidence that the whole "software as a subscription" thing can't die soon enough.

@nousquest

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.

@michaelm1

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.

@originalamias

I love how your cat demonstrates what a subscription model looks like

Did you speed this up? I had to check my settings....

@omarsuarez2444

$5 here, $10 there, $20 elsewhere etc. No one has unlimited money, its unfeasible.

@Nitro-bg1sn

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."

@MikesFutureRetro

Devices like this need to have their software cloned and cracked and an open source solution put in place
