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.

Women and bugmen get incredibly excited at the thought of Product having internet connectivity, no matter how useless. They will pay any markup to have a Smart Product.

It's super duper cool because I can connect my treadmill stats to Facebook to communicate with all my fake friends and show them that I jogged for 30 minutes in my $1,600 apartment while I listen to NPR. I have goals and resolutions and I'm totally like trying super hard to be fit and intellectual, guys.

It's probably just a matter of time before someone makes something really dumb like a bed into a "smart device" and then it gets bricked too.

There already are sensor panels you can place under your mattress for remote monitoring. They're used for elderly and disabled people.
