I just realised that I am in fact subscribed to this. Fuck that!

BearOfaTime , in you have to subscribe to the dictionary now

I feel like Oxford always had a fee for their online dictionary.

Junkdata , in you have to subscribe to the dictionary now

Thats a stupid decision to have a dictionary as a subscription.

randombullet , in You Don’t Want to Know How Much You Are Spending on Subscriptions

I know it's the title but I dislike clickbait.

I know it’s not just me who is suddenly living life as a smooth-brained subscriber. The average consumer spends $273 per month on subscriptions, according to a 2021 poll of 2,500 by digital services firm West Monroe, which found this spending was up 15 percent from 2018. Not a single person polled knew what his actual monthly spending was.

I only spend $17.38 a month on subscriptions. But that's because I share many family plans.

aesthelete , in Linus also rightfully ranting about subscriptions

Will everything be a subscription?! Hopefully not. Like and subscribe.

OldWoodFrame , in I'm conflicted

Oh this is for people who DISLIKE subscriptions, not people who want to have sex with them?

partial_accumen , in So, about the gym memberships...

Why does a gym require membership/subscription in the first place?

Because its a fantastic source of revenue for the gym where they have lots of people paying for classes and equipment they don't use.

Psythik , in PlayStation Plus prices increasing - remember when deciding whether to sign up for an eternal subscription: The price will go up

PC gaming FTW. You may pay a little more upfront, but Steam sales and the lack of subscription fees more than makes up for it.

soyagi , in Only Telegram Premium subscribers can protect themselves from unwanted voice messages

No, anyone on Telegram can block incoming calls. Voice messages are different.

_sideffect , in More people can now pay for Meta verified...

Like tinder as well... If you're all tinder gold, NO ONE is tinder gold

DmMacniel , in Affinity Photo: Calling out a hero in this subscription dystopia

The Affinity Suite (Designer, Photo, Publisher) is pretty great. Whish they had Linux support :(

TempleSquare , in Expected: I cancelled our subscription with HP and they blocked us from being able to use the rest of the ink in our cartridge.

Meanwhile, I'm laughing all the way to the bank with my Brother color laser.

Yes, the printer didn't have a low subsidized price up front. But now I can enjoy big toner cartridges that seem to last forever. And I can use all the knockoff ones I want. And the printer itself is bulletproof.

Huge fan of Brother!

jwagner7813 , in If not a subscription, at least accounts for everything (have you heard of that coffee mug that requires an account and firmware updates?)

If these damned companies would stop relying on this stupid sub model and just offer decent products at a decent price and not worry about neverending growth, this wouldn't be a fucking problem. God I hate the way shit is going.
