Why everything is a subscription

f–k this BS… biggest scam in history.

I don’t like sub­scrip­tion ser­vices, I like to own my own products. 

Every­thing is a sub­scrip­tion now. In future if I want to use my bath­room I’m going to have to pay sub­scrip­tion for it. It’s get­ting ridiculous. 

I’m going to give a exam­ple, because of work and oth­er stuff, it took me an entire year to fin­ish the with­er 3, I would I kip pay­ing for an entire year of sub­scrip­tion to play this one game that in the end I don’t even own. A lot peo­ple play the same games, mul­ti-play­er games, for an entire year or more, I would they pay a sub­scrip­tion to play the same games for a entire year, for games they don’t own.

I not inter­est­ed on pay­ing sub­scrip­tion for every­thing I want to do. Espe­cial­ly for games.

The only sub­scrip­tion tipe ser­vice I would accept is movies and series, because movies and series take just a few hours of your time and it can show you movies and series that you can like but you would­n’t know if it was­n’t for this ser­vices, but even this types of stream­ing ser­vice are get­ting ridicu­lous with the amount of ser­vices there are now, and it’s going to get worse.

The only future I see, espe­cial­ly after the pan­dem­ic where many peo­ple lost part of there income if not all of it, is one where YouTube and pira­cy take cen­ter stage and many of all types of stream­ing ser­vices will end up in failure.

If your com­pa­ny is mak­ing more and more mil­lions upon mil­lions per year then your charg­ing peo­ple too much! Places can do 5.99 per month and still make mil­lions but they all just want “growth ..revenue…investers happy”…so they charge 15.99 per month and most aver­age peo­ple find that just adds up too much and it puts us off, we have food and rent to pay not your 15.99 per month drag­ging on us

Rich peo­ple with too much mon­ey. I do pour over cof­fee, costs about 25 cents. I have a mtb. My rou­tine is free and invig­o­rat­ing. My cell keeps track of where I am, how many steps etc.

What about sub­scrip­tion ser­vice that allows access to all exist­ing sub­scrip­tions for rea­son­able price like 29.99£ per month? I’ll would be up for it. Much sim­pler mod­el and what a great cus­tomer jour­ney (hate that expres­sion). Right? Cor­po­ra­tions would love it. After all its all about cus­tomers experience.

Why am I get­ting a strong gut feel­ing that she likes him?

It would be inter­est­ing to see what they think of pele­ton now.

Every­one loves to hate sub­scrip­tion ser­vices. The truth though is that in most cas­es peo­ple are just not actu­al­ly ready to pay the prices that would have to be charged upfront to make the alter­na­tive busi­ness mod­el sus­tain­able. Many for­get you have to cov­er not only the ser­vice oper­a­tion costs but also the cus­tomer acqui­si­tion cost, cus­tomer ser­vice cost, cost of free tri­als, and in most cas­es con­tin­u­ing devel­op­ment costs (com­pe­ti­tion nev­er sleeps). Sure, there are com­pa­nies with monop­o­lies that gross­ly over­charge. But many busi­ness offer­ings just sim­ply would­n’t sur­vive as pay-once prod­ucts. Peo­ple vote with their wal­lets, and despite the pub­licly expressed sen­ti­ment in many cas­es they sim­ply pre­fer the month­ly model.

I have ZERO sub­scrip­tions and I’m gonna keep it that way. I went from Adobe over to affin­i­ty for all my graph­ic design once adobe forced a sub­scrip­tion mod­el. One off pay­ment. You own the pro­gram. And it’s every bit as competent.

How cool are 30+ year olds guys that look like 15 year old skateboarder

What about baby toys? I doubt you could put those in a sub­scrip­tion. What they gonna do, take slob­bery toys back?

My dad was a con­struc­tion work­er and he nev­er got a month­ly sub­scrip­tion for the dri­ve­ways and stuff he made. I think soft­ware com­pa­nies are abus­ing their posi­tion on our system.
