gouging is exactly what they plan to do, will do, and will continue to do until people start realizing how broke they really are, and CANCELLING ALL subscriptions for everything. rent nothing, Subscribe to nothing. take your money back

I agree in principle but “rent nothing” is an absolute that millions of people without the down payment for a house cannot get behind.

The thing is that a lot of companies are pursuing this model, rent everything and people own nothing. All TV, movie, and music streaming is a replacement for physical media, gaming services have been headed this way for years, even cars are headed down this path. All big companies have their hands in consumers pockets and are competing for those subscription $$$.

Preaching to the choir mate, I cancelled the majority of my subscriptions and self host as much as I can.
