Seeing a subscription actually makes my decision easy. I see it and immediately know to avoid.

The same people complaining about software subscriptions also complained that shrink wrapped software was too expensive and didn’t get free updates for life.

How is that a boomer complaint? It’s basic. Microsoft Word should be buy once for 3 computers, as it always was until subs took over.

We can’t even read the news anymore without a sub.

I like the use of the word rent for this.

If that's a boomer complaint then hell yes I'm a fucking boomer! Fuck your subscription!

Finding economic rents is the core of capitalism. It's so iconic even Adam Smith railed against it

Use and support open source where ever possible

they just need to outlaw subscription based services on services that don't need it.

And no continuous support is not a valid subscription reason, if you want to charge support separate that's fair to do but this pay 60$ a year "because it's a continuous development" needs to go away.

Same with the "pay a rent for a building", it's just money drain. Being a landlord should not be allowed to be for profit, and should be heavily regulated. If you wanna rent? Sure, but at max it should be equivalent to costs the building has, and restricted to only apartment complexes. So annoying that you can't find property anymore to actually /own/ because a handful of rental companies can just write a blank check and buy it all.

Boomer complaint? Why can't I smoke an after dinner cigarette at the restaurant in peace without people whining at me to get up and go outside? And what is it with all this "rap music" on the radio? I'll rather take Chet Baker any day of the week.

I don't see how that's a "boomer" complaint lol I'm a millennial and don't know anyone that's excited to pay monthly fees for something they already bought
