It’s beyond time that we stop using cloud based services for anything we consider important.

Anything that has to leave your home network to operate will eventually either become paid or wither away. Self hosting is seemingly the only route left to take if you don’t want to eventually be shafted.

Buying proprietary smarthome devices should be a LAMF topic.

You will get fucked. Every. Fucking. Time. Count on it.

Bait and switch. And just another reason not to put important stuff, be it data or services, into a cloud controlled by someone else.
