MODERATORS
Just another company taking part in the worldwide subscription model scam.
Here's another one: LynkD. I have a few of their NFC padlocks. They're not particularly well made, nor are they particularly secure, but they're convenient and I like them to secure low-importance things like my gym locker or the shed at the back of my garden.
I wanted to buy more. LynkD informed me that the padlocks now require a subscription. It's even written at the bottom of the product page:
Yes, you read that right: a fucking PADLOCK now requires a subscription.
The mind boggles...
Not only a subscription but one at an absolutely rip off price. Flat. Monthly cost, PLUS per device PLUS per user fees?
They're going for property managers who can claim expenses.
