This actually points to the root of the problem. You couldn't do that kind of retail subscription nonsense in ancient times because the bookkeeping, identity management, and fraud prevention would have been a nightmare. Since we found out how to automate all of those problems away, here we are.
Sort of, my point is really that there are new kinds of work that were not really conceivable at the time, most of which has no direct influence on whether you're fed, clothed, housed, and healthy. (Indirectly is another matter, North Korean's wisest minds centrally decide what really matters and look where that gets them... Not a 3 day work week)
