Wow there’s some really bad deals here!

History is full of hustles, but people aren’t usually dumb enough to keep falling for them forever. Probably that will apply here too, and a lot of these shitty subscriptions will go the way of the Juicero.

It’s worth mentioning renting rather than owning isn’t an intrinsically bad concept. Owning your own bus probably doesn’t interest you, and while streaming costs are going up, it’s still a better deal than buying a DVD you watch once. I have to think when the infamous “owning nothing and being happy” quote was coined, they were imaging there still was a nice diversified portfolio of investments in the background, which amounts to owning a small piece of everything.
