Pro tip: that $200 'lifetime' dash cam subscription was a total bust for me
Two years back I dropped $200 on a dash cam that came with a "lifetime cloud" plan, thinking I was set for good. Fast forward to now and the app won't even load, the company got bought out, and the new owners want $8 a month if I want to keep my clips. I called support and the guy literally said "lifetime means the life of the product, not yours," which felt like a scam with extra steps. So here's the debate: is it smarter to just buy a cheap cam and swap the SD card yourself, or do you pay the monthly fee for the peace of mind? I lost $200 plus maybe 3 hours of arguing on the phone, and I'm still mad about it. My buddy says I should just let it go and get a $60 basic one, but I keep wondering if cloud backup is ever worth it. Anyone else get burned by a "lifetime" promise like this, and did you find a setup that actually held up?

Man, "life of the product" is the oldest trick in the book.
