Are you ready for subscription level replacement parts?
It would be a shame if your scrollwheel would die every 3 months and be a $30 replacement before $10 shipping.
Replacement buttons every year or so...
They want your business forever. They can't do that for free, they need you to keep paying them regularly.
Covid fucked this country up in so many ways. Most of us are forever renters in fucking everything
This makes the 1776 cosplaying characters extremely funny. Americans are so subservient to anything capital says, and again, have been since Covid
I've yet to see a subscription that doesn't abuse it's customers. Time and time again predatory practices are employed by massive multibillion dollar companies like adobe, amazon, planetfitness (and all of the f'ing gym memberships..)
This is not to mention all of the predatory landlords who simply live off of the hard work of others akin to slave ownership. Primary housing shouldn't be an investment. If you want to rent a home the renters should become mandatory purchasers and get proportional equity to how much money you put in it, a system can be divised to sell shares in housing that you can sell out.
Fuck rent. Same goes for the telcos 'renting' services to us. We pay for the subsidies to put up the fiber lines anyway, why are we paying again for them? The real costs are a small fraction of what we pay.
