I bought a Miku camera because it has a few extra features that I wanted and unlike the competition there was no monthly fee.

Well then they screwed up by pushing a bad over the air update that literally bricked all operating cameras. They made that right by replacing them all, but then they went bankrupt.

A new company bought their assets during bankruptcy and the first thing they did was add a monthly fee to use any of the “advanced” features (all the reasons I bought it in the first place.)
