    Oh well sorry that I took your “subscriptions suck” literally. I guess what that meant to say was “subscriptions with adds before them suck”. My fault for not figuring this out.

      all subscriptions eventually do price hikes and ads.

      subscriptions do suck.

        And yet they are pretty much non avoidable for certain services. And some of those services are really neat.

        My library subscription for example certainly is worth it. So is my public transportation subscription.

          neither of those need to be a subscription, but rather a pay as you go model that isnt overpriced.

          subscriptions are almost always designed to take MORE money longterm or else they wouldnt be pushing them so hard, on most cases its unavoidable because of how they push it onto us.
