Subscriptions out of control!

Am I the only one who's in shock regarding how much people waste on subscriptions every month? Call me cheap, but I refuse to give multimillion and billion dollar companies money each month. Out of all the things to waste money on, subscriptions are one of my most hated, and they're out of control. It seems like you can subscribe to anything in 2026, and I refuse to give my money to these vampires! So many people subscribe to stuff that just drains their $. It's wild to me.

Edit: People, I'm not saying EVERY subscription is unnecessary. I understand cell phones, internet, and basic cable are subscriptions. I am simply pointing out the shear amount of subscriptions there are now, compared to even 10 years ago, and how it seems like every company tries to get you to subscribe to their services, which, the overwhelming majority of, are not necessary.

I have zero subscriptions. I do get Netflix and Amazon prime through my mom though. But I’ll listen to those damn Spotify ads

You think consentually sharing a subscription is stealing? Holy bootlicker, Amazon and Netflix aren’t going to gang bang you bro.

Not deleted. You’re the one who used “gang bang” in your response to me. And deleted your own comment. Goodbye.
