    It is sounds almost like a dystopian utopia. And it comes to prove that having such big and influential corporations is only good for their shareholders.

    I think the whole subscription model get its birth from the constant desire of those corps to grow infinitely, while leaving the normal people to truly struggle to meet their ends with ever growing expenses.

      This is the definition of late stage capitalism. Growth cannot be infinite, but capitalism demands infinite growth unless restrained or check put in place. Ergo, workers are resources to be exploited to the utmost limits of what is possible. Not moral, possible.

      If they have to live on foodstamps good that means you are not overpaying. Clearly the model works because they haven’t gone elsewhere yet. /s

        Yes, in lights of the housing crisis, and the double digit inflation, I have the feeling that all of them exist so that you can’t afford to really retire early and stuck you in the job market for an eternity, exactly how big corps want you to be. So we are modern day slaves, who don’t own anything (soon even our cars would be on a subscription), our houses are already on this mode.
