If you own a home and use the service, I bet you expect your yard maintenance people to work for as little as you can get away with giving them, same applies here. That's fine since you're just trying to save a buck here and there. There's a reason that Americans are allowing illegal immigrants to take all the outside hard work jobs and it's not because they are easy and pay well. Some companies can get away with charging for a service even if you don't use it like a garbage collecting service. Carista is something we don't even need which is why it's hilarious they think they can charge a yearly fee.
$40 a year is too much for any app that you use one time and maybe possibly never again. $10 for using it once is too much too which is why I said $20 and you can use it as much as you like. That's why people use get pirated apps and circumvent the greed. I have a app on my phone that allows me to open/shut my garage door and know when it's open or close any where in the World, that was free with the garage door opener. I'd actually pay yearly for that since it's useful not just one time but the Carista app doesn't earn that honor for what it is. Wyze cam sells a $20 1080p security camera with 2 weeks of cloud storage...no monthly/yearly charge. I'd like to charge double for my labor or even better charge people yearly fees for nothing extra but unfortunately I'd get no customers that way. That's why not many people even use Carista especially since they went with their new yearly subscription scheme. We wouldn't even be having this conversation if the app was reasonably priced and a one time charge like it should be. They'll adapt by lowering their price to a more aggressive and informed buyer or go away like Kmart/Blockbuster/Pets.com/etc.
TLDR: Unplug relay for removing DRL still free.

If you have a hard job that you don’t like then why not just become a developer. It’s crazy easy. I sit here on my ass all day pressing buttons all day. Oh and I also make so much money I import illegals that I can pay nothing to do my law. Actually my job is sooooo easy I am thinking of handing my keyboard and chair to one of my many illegals to do it so o can sit on my ass and watch the money flow in masses.
Come on man, join the club. It’s simple.
