[@StevenKelley]

I bought a $250 Nest camera 7/8 years ago and had an AC plug professionally installed my attic above my porch ceiling. I also paid for the Nest subscription to receive 5 days of continuous cloud storage. A couple of years ago, Nest changed the recording requirements by having the camera only record when it senses movement. As a result, the camera no longer functions as it originally did based on my purchase. Later this year, they decided to increase the price from $60 to $85 per year, I called Google support which took forever to get ahold of a support person to claim my camera isn't functioning as it intended from my first purchase and explained the problem, they said sorry you can't return the camera per our terms and service. I did not agree to the new terms, so I shut down my Nest subscription. Consequently, I upgraded my network to a Ubiquiti system, discarded the Google camera, and replaced it with a Unifi camera system that records data locally without requiring a subscription. We own nothing when we buy physical or digital products from Google, and this practice should be illegal, especially when hardware is involved.

[@TryPuttingItInRice]

I absolutely don't want to victim blame, but honestly we could all see this coming, especially with how gaming went down then with "pray we don't alter the deal further" live service nonsense. 10 years ago I wanted both a security camera (mostly to watch my cat breaking stuff) and something to control my central heating system. Nest wasn't bought by google yet so I bought both a Nest thermostat and a camera, but quickly returned them once I found out all the "cloud" garbage and endless license agreement nonsense that came with it and bought a PTZ ipcamera that could just rtmp stream video on the LAN, setup a NAS that could re-stream it over the internet (with a dedicated separate physical network so it can't even snoop around mine) so I could watch it on my phone while away and forgot about the whole network enabled thermostat controls. I guess I just put a lid on my drink so I couldn't be roofied because my completely local setup still runs fine to this day. In the grand scheme of things, be thankful that this lesson only costed $250 and whatever you paid in subscription fees, some people are completely invested in an entire ecosystem with thousands of dollars of stuff and the cost of switching over to another system would cost another pile of money.

[@daltoonybob]

Don't think for a second unifi won't require subscriptions sooner or later. When competing with cisco they got a lot of work to do before requiring subscriptions would for them.

It is partially true that Linus Media Group (LMG) is funded on KZbin ad revenue but that isn't their majority source of income anymore as far as I am aware. They did a video back in 2020 about their financials and demonstrated the adjustment as they've grown, and back then only 26% of their revenue came directly from youtube. Granted, a large chunk of change came from a byproduct of doing youtube videos - in-video sponsors and projects. But I have a feeling that if LTT was kicked off the platform for some reason, they'd see a large influx of people to FloatPlane which would more than compensate the amount of AdSense revenue they currently make. And those were just 2020 numbers; None of this is mentioning their current prospective projects, a big one being a real brick-and-mortar facility for badminton and LAN parties. TL:DR they were probably hurt/insulted by the strike but not terribly concerned internally.

3:51 That reminds me a bit (although less drastically) of a false copyright claim by "JASRAC_CS" on "Wet Hands" by C418 in a video in and about Minecraft on my channel - even though you are allowed to use it in Minecraft-related content. When I refuted, with the comment that Minecraft's music is allowed to be used in Minecraft videos (I didn't even edit it in, the game just played it and my screen and audio capture captured it), I got an email fifteen seconds later, stating that a manual review has been done and my video breaks the copyright law. And the video is almost half an hour long, plus the transfer and update rate delays I'm pretty sure the "manual" review was sone by a computer that just automatically says "You're wrong" to any request.

That logic works until you are using a service funded by ads. Frankly I think adblock should become far more common along with simply denying service to people who choose to use it. The existence of both would encourage far more reasonable ad usage.

[@rausb]

Not if it is paid by these elements you want to block. If you paid for the service, then you'd be right. Also this goes both ways, you're not entitled to something and the other side is not. It's like bringing your own drinks to a bar.
