I don’t know how people will be able to afford to live with everything being a monthly fee.

Jilano273065y@badcopnodonuts Oh it's fairly easy. Lots of (way too much actually) people don't do any budgeting at all. So since they don't know how much they're spending on things and servicing here and there, that doesn't trigger anything in their "brains".

Jilano273065y@munichong Because instead of having one service (or two but not 50) with differents content from different companies, you have instead to pay for 5+ just to get the same thing you had before.
In addition, lots of people fail to realise that all those "streaming" websites mean that you don't own anything. Be it a movie, a game, a software, you name it. Nothing is yours, and when something changes, a law for example, you might lose everything that you paid for because in the end, you only paid for the "access" to something, and not the "something" in itself (thanks DRM for that too).
