People like us just don’t see it, they are want us on subscription plans for every service that exists. Starting from movies and series, which you don’t own anything, and once you signup you agreed with their terms, they do what ever they want, to phone where your storage space will max out, and you have to pay monthly, to upload all your videos and photos in the cloud/server. They want us to keep paying for even basic things, because why should be free right?

Greed. The ultimate human trait.

glockenspiel,

Greed isn’t the ultimate human trait. Cooperation and curiosity are. We never would have built societies without either. We never would have advanced to the point we have without both. Everyone has greed in them, just like everyone has the opportunity to be angry or sad. But the notion that it is the ultimate human trait or somehow stronger than other characteristics is truly capitalist propaganda meant to justify their immoral hoarding of our wealth.

After all, if greed is the most natural and strongest human attribute… well, the do-nothing takers at the tippy top of the food chain can just continue to suck our blood and deprive us of our agency since it is natural.

There is a reason we don’t live in libertarian hellscapes. It is because greed is not the ultimate human trait.

Oneobi,

Are you saying society now is not based on greed?

IHaveTwoCows,

Ya know, you could just buy a portable drive and put all your media on that.

I know, but tell that to the all the companies with their pop ups. I have 0 subs btw. But my point is not everyone knows how to deal with stuff.

IHaveTwoCows,

I meant transferring straight from your phone files to a thumb drive or other portable drive

I_Love_Muslims,

If it’s free, you’re the product

butter,

Unless you pirate.

Or buy it in a one time payment.

In fact, you’re pretty much the product in every one of these examples, even if you pay

wer2,

But also when you pay, you can still be a product.

hoi_polloi,

We used to pay a one time fee for software and we paid for big updates. I miss those days

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

God forbid you pay for services.

hahattpro,

If it is subscription, then wen you lost your stream of income, you lost everything.

That including your house, if you live in subcription house.

scorpiosrevenge,

Isnt that called rent

MrPoopbutt,

Mortgage too

Bison1911,

And property tax.

geophysicist,

Mortgage you prepay a lifetime subscription though, much better /s

MrMobius,

Fuck you Spotify! I download my mp3 just like cool kids did 20 years ago, and it suits me just fine!

Wait, Spotify? Don’t you mean “a pile of garbage”?

I have to be honest, I hate this thing even with the paid plan. Everything sounds so compressed.

winter,

blame the loudness wars, not the streaming service. they don’t alter audio files, the only exception being loudness normalisation between songs.

It’s either that or my opinion is the least valid out of them all.
