Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.

You should read what you're agreeing to.

Who only prints 10 pages in a month?
I don't even print ten pages in a year. But for that reason I do not own a printer and just go to the library when I do need one.
You mean the communist bookstore? We need to enact legislation to get those into a subscription model, so as to promote innovation and protect our children.

Jeeze, don't give them any ideas! Maybe we should start calling taxes subscriptions....
