Seriously? Another Subscription Racket.

Right, so Oura – yeah, the overpriced finger bling that tells you how little sleep you’re getting because it’s constantly judging you – got slammed for hiking up subscription prices *again*. People were pissed they’d have to pay more just to see data from a ring they already shelled out hundreds for. Shocking, I know.

Their CEO, Harri Kilpi (never heard of him, probably doesn’t understand the concept of “customer goodwill”), is now flapping his gums about how the future isn’t *just* rings, it’s a whole “cloud of wearables.” Translation: they want to sell you more shit and lock you into their ecosystem. He’s talking about partnerships with other companies so you can get even MORE data… for MORE money. It’s a goddamn subscription pyramid scheme disguised as wellness.

Apparently, they think making the ring cheaper but relying on subscriptions is “sustainable.” Sustainable for who exactly? Not your wallet, that’s for sure. They’re also trying to spin it as offering more value with these partnerships, like you *need* another app telling you to drink water.

Basically, they screwed up, people called them on it, and now they’re doubling down on the same predatory practices but with extra steps. Don’t fall for this garbage. It’s a ring. It measures stuff. You don’t need a monthly fee to know if you feel tired.

Look, I once had to debug a network issue caused by someone trying to run a ham radio through a Cisco router. A ham radio. That’s the level of stupidity we’re dealing with here. People willingly handing over their money for this Oura nonsense is… similar. Just less electrically dangerous.
