I am not looking forward to the day that medical implants and devices become subscription-based.
Missed too many monthly payments? Your pacemaker gets shut off until your account is no longer delinquent.
Find and watch the 2010 Jude Law movie "repo men".
I just watched the first episode of the most recent series of Black Mirror and it was this too.
Implant had range limitations, premium tier to avoid you randomly shilling products, constantly increasing subscription fee, etc.
