    I’m cancelling subscriptions like crazy, I don’t have any streaming TV subs left at all. I replaced them with something that gives actual value:

    • Kagi search engine. This wonderful thing has made me discover how much good sites there are out there!

    • Fastmail. Really fast and lots of actually useful features.

    • Jetbrains editors. I actually like the new user interface. :)

    We felt this sting, we purchased the miku because of the monitering and now they want 10 bucks a month for what used to be included in the purchase of the device. Now all the features are blocked.

      Can you return it? Or write thr company and request a refund?

      This is a bait and switch, which a judge would award damages on if you bothered with a small claims filing.
