The best subscription I ever had is piracy.

I'm not sure if you haven't seen it, but, the most insidious design I've seen is when you try to cancel, it cancels at that exact moment. This means if you want 1 month only, you have to go in and manually cancel it the last time you want to use the service.

I called an Uber to go the airport and he arrived, said it wasnt worth it for him and outright refused the trip so i had to call another one. Functional service

"charging for what used to be free"
literally sums up every company today

The fact that amazon has added a "rent" system (for old movies too) despite of having a prime membership is just outrageous

Not sure if you mentioned how Amazon initially included music and Amazon Prime video (ad free) to their yearly subscription, but now they removed most of the music and added a Prime music subscription and show ads on their Amazon Prime video. It's just getting ridiculous.

THIS is the reason why I cancelled ALL my subscriptions. Afterward's I found out that I have been paying a total of $280 a month just on subscriptions alone.
I am now saving $280 a month after cancelling all my subscriptions. I no longer have any subscriptions of any kind to anything anymore.

The last two videos have been brutally honest and genuine, I really like this type of content.

Hate to play devil's advocate here, but the only reason we're flooded with these subscription-based systems is because they work. People are "spending money they don't have on things they don't need" (paraphrased from George Carlin), and it's really sad to see the lack of discipline and self-control of adults. Hearing you spend that much on subcriptions alone at 21:05 is really telling; I currently spend less than that on EVERYTHING per month. With no social media, no useless apps, and no debt, I'm proof that you can be a very happy 25-year-old who can live off of less than $1,000 USD per month.

I definitely noticed this and canceled all my subscription services. This was beautifully laid out and a great was of explaining what many of us have a hard time putting into words

This video needs to go viral. Either directly, or as small video shorts in TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. Remember people, VOTE WITH YOUR WALLETS and always THINK TWICE before buying something.

This has been going on for over a decade now. I used to work in fast food and now I'm a taxi driver soon to be driving Instructor. They're not just exploiting the consumer but the supplier as well. Companies like justeat, deliveroo and ubereats are killing your favourite local takeaway. That's why I only order directly through the restaurant or takeaway. I only use local taxi companies and always tip because honestly taxi drivers really earn a pittance which is why I'm training to become a driving instructor.

The answer is piracy. If you can't afford the subscriptions, just pirate the content. It's morally wrong, but being morally wrong to corporations is a morally right thing to do, since corporations don't even have morals to begin with. The only people who deserve your subscription money are small creators of services or products that you enjoy. If corporations aren't going to make it convenient for you to pay, you shouldn't pay them. If paying is not owning, then pirating is not stealing.

“Now you pay as much you used to before these services, but you don’t own anything either” is exactly the biggest problem.

I'm not one for subscriptions anyway, so I had little clue how right my brother was when he told me everything is getting shittier.
Thank you for this eye-opening video! We all should take a stand against subscription. :)
Always look for alternatives instead of going for the big corporations!

The Surfshark advertise in the end is pure irony…..😅

if buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.
