The era of subscriptions for everything?
Music subscription (Apple, Spotify etc). Subscription to social networks (Meta, X). Subscription to Messenger (Telegram Premium, Viber Plus etc). Sneaker subscription (On.com). Subscription for car seat heaters. What's next?
I found it hard to accept that the whole world was immersed in a subscription form of payment. You cannot own anything anymore; once your bank card runs out of money, you are cut off from the whole world.
You are immersed in a plethora of advertising. You can no longer use your programs; you are cut off from everything.
When did we take the wrong turn? When did a smartphone wallpaper app decide to become “big business” and just demand $10 a week? Why has this become the norm? 🥲
