All good stuff, I agree with everything you said.
Heavily researched the tread and competitors and then decided that it was idiotic to pay for something I could do outside every day, for free, even in the forthcoming Northeast cold. Have one friend who really likes the tread boot-camps. That particular use case makes the tread more appealing.
What I do like about the more expensive membership is the ability to group together family accounts. That might be the only thing I actually care about. Bit easier to administer. All comes up cleanly on the bike interface.
Haven't spent a ton of time looking at the differences in the real time metrics with more expensive membership vs. basic but I assume that's a thing people care about. I personally think real-time power on the bike is mostly useless - would love to see averages over different time periods (similar to Strava's power curve).
For what it's worth, I really like Future. Joined because I actively weight-trained prior to March 2020 and wanted to keep up momentum. But a key feature for me is sending videos of movements to the trainer and having that person critique/give advice/suggestions. Exactly what I want and need. I otherwise don't need someone to build workouts for me.
