How do pay or consent systems work and what are the issues? Max Schrems explains it all in this explainer video

My biggest concern is they will hold your data hostage if you don’t pay or try to leave.

Are golem, pur, spiegel, and others doing so? Have you tried asking for your data to be deleted and gotten a “fuck you we won’t” or no response at all (which is also the equivalent of “fuck you we won’t”)?
