@Daojoan No streaming service, no subscription plans - whether media or software. If I want it, I buy it - just not from the little anthrophomorphic rocketman (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jul/20/jeff-bezos-rocket-design-an-inquiry).

Corporate accountants may love subscriptions, TechBros may fancy to monetise my life. I don't appreciate either. Rot in hell, and GFY (go fuck yourself, for speaking out loud).

@dazzr @Daojoan Thankfully, I have long followed a "zero subscription" model. Amazing how much less bandwidth you can get by with when Netflix and Hulu are not on the menu too!
