Subscription fatigue is a thing and regulators are circling, but Korean giant reckons you're ready to cough up after buying hardware
LG to offer subscriptions for already purchased appliances and televisions, evolving into a provider for “Home as a Service”::Subscription fatigue is a thing and regulators are circling, but Korean giant reckons you’re ready to cough up after buying hardware
I used to like LG products they were often really good quality and lasted a long time.
That’s pretty much over now, not touching new LG products anymore. That’s for sure!
I had an LG CRT and it was as old as me. Never died. It’s a real shame the planet is suffering because of greedy business practices.
They put climate change on the consumer but more needs to be done to big corporations to punish this kind of behaviour.
This is why I like dumb products. The smarter they are the more they tac on this kind of crap to them.
Is LG the same brand as the printer that stopped working without a subscription? I saw it recently on Lemmy, can’t remember if it was LG or maybe HP or something…
Their gadgets built their fame because they just worked and were built like a tank. My grandparents had their stuff (from Goldstar era) and they still keep chugging.
None of this “as a service” bs will please the lifetime customers.

Who asked for that?
Shareholders?
*devolving
“They’re evolving! - just backwards.” - LG probably
this change will solidify that I will never buy an LG product if they all have that shit
My LG TV from 2017 that’s not getting any updates anymore feels great this time of the year :D

That post was HP. LG is a korean company which makes lots of home appliances like washing machines, fridges, vac cleaner, etc.
Thanks a lot
LG PowerPoint:
Problem: People buy our TVsReal problem: People pay only once for our TVs
Solution: Make them pay money each month for their already purchased TVs
Psychopaths
I have an LG monitor, but never again. This is absurd. If money is all they understand then I hope they have a rude awakening on account of this.
Already was off LG products, now I am again!
FOAAS (Fuck off as a service)

I may be lucky. I am an expat, and I bought mine in China. Now I am in Malaysia. So I may not have this issue. But your points are likely true.
I can only say !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world
Lame. Im in a lemmy app on my phone
It considers your comment an email.
Get a different app I guess…
Might as well just rent a house. lol
