Um subscription to what? Is none an ok answer?

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I pay for my fibre, and my phone. They're indispensable.

Oh and a VPN

I can see why people pay subscriptions for media, but people who pay subscriptions for software or services are a massive problem. If people refused to use a service as soon as it turned to a subscription model, the idea would've died out

Nope, folks are fucking stupid

What’s wrong with paying a subscription for a service that requires resources to continuously operate, such as email hosting?

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I don't think of phones as subscriptions but ok, yeah, they are somewhat needed, so fine, especially if you use it enough.
