Peloton has removed “Just Run” from its treadmills, a feature that allows Peloton treadmill owners to just run without any subscription.
The removal of the free feature pretty much makes the pricey treadmills useless for users who are not ready to pay for the company’s monthly subscriptions and has further implications of who actually owns the product you paid for in this world of constant subscriptions – especially now that tech companies are comfortable to ban users’ accounts.

Otherwise, libtech firms could one day block you from using your treadmill, refrigerator, etc for hate speech & wrong-think.

I have no fucking issue with a pro working on that.
That being sqid theyre a dumb idea and that reads to me like extortion. If im pqying for an airbag vest i expect it to work not get it home after paying for it and finding out i have to pay more for it to function as intended.
