Service siphoning, as defined in this wiki, is the conversion of traditional-purchase models into service-based, or subscription models. Pages that fall under this category are examples of instances of this anti-consumer behavior. This usually applies to cloud-connected physical products, as they often start out without needing any subscription to be used. For the conversion of lifetime software licenses into subscription-based licenses, see license laundering.
