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.

Right-wing dissidents should probably avoid internet-connected exercise equipment & appliances. Otherwise, libtech firms could one day block you from using your treadmill, refrigerator, etc for hate speech & wrong-think.

Because people are idiots and will pay it. That’s the long and the short of it. I have zero empathy for people that could have just bought a thousand dollar stationary bike and an ipad.
