I hope that in the future we will get some insight on how sonos became the company it now is. When they started there were no mandatory accounts, no spying, dedicated remotes (i.e. no analytics). I really wish we could get back to this time.
It’s really not hard to see why all tech companies are going this way. Data collection is the new gold rush and any company not trying to get into it will lose to ones that do. It not really much of a mystery.
Me too. The most infuriating bit is the settings that require a login. That should never be needed.
