Sorry.
Someone proclaiming that something is accepted as normal and remembering seeing this argument/statement used by the BBC 10 years ago during their research on persistent screen logos/digital on screen graphics and the annoyance they can cause.
Yes/No and sometimes I see "unsure" but *"broadly accepting of them" in the survey research below.
Here is what I was referencing it too:

No offense, but I still can’t make heads or tails of what you’re trying to get across. Your incomplete sentences don’t create a train of thought for the reader.

Edit: Deleted this post because I realised I was wrong - you really are being malicious and it seems to turn you on. Absolutely no point in trying to engage with you on this or anything else.

That's an unwarranted assertion. There are a lot of people who point blank refuse to use subscription based software, myself included.

You are not an average example. I won't touch subscription-based software either but I acknowledge that I am also not an average user (really, you need to stop thinking you're the centre of everything and the perfect example for any situation).
I think my assertion stands because you only have to look at how people are accepting of subscriptions, not least all those users that are paying the subscriptions. The purchasers of things like smart doorbells who pay subscriptions to use them. Similarly some CCTV and alarms (honest, I can't fathom how anyone can think that's a good idea, but it is apparently a thing).
You might also care to recall that you are ignoring me.

Thank you for reminding me why there's little point in trying to engage with you like an adult; failure to read what I actually said, unnecessary ad-hominem arguments, and finishing up with a childish dig. How the heck you turn a "me included" as an afterthought into "really, you need to stop thinking you're the centre of everything and the perfect example for any situation" would probably require the services of an expensive alienist to explain.

It was irrelevant except to say "I am a counter-example". Which, it has to be said, is very common hereabouts - suggest something and someone will be the edge case that refutes it.
