    The only subscriptions I am willing to pay for:

    Phone bill - no choice
    Internet bill - no choice
    Insurance - no choice
    World of Warcraft - sue me
    Costco membership - worth it
    VPN - worth it

    I don’t pay for any others. Paid for lifetime Plex for the convenience of not needing to pay for a website domain like I would for jellyfin, and self host my own music, tv, and movies

      3 of those are services. Most subscription shit we see these days are products that they want us to treat like services even though there is no on going consumption. All of these software subscription services are just grifts.

      Costco membership - worth it

      Just got my Executive Membership rebate. It more than paid for the membership. We’re basically shopping at Costco for free.

      I’ll pay you 3 quid a month for read access to your server.

      Ha just kidding, fuck subscriptions

      Sorry but I fucking lost it at it your justification for Warcraft. And that’s from somebody who’s been playing it on and off since mid-lich King
