I absolutely despise the fact that they try to add subscriptions to every damn thing.

I wish more people understood this and would actually refuse to purchase.

"Consumers can vote with our dollars. Consumer backlash has already affected the rollout of some subscription schemes. Refuse to purchase these products, and join with others who are rejecting these developments."

I see that it compares with paying with a card. In my opinion & experience, it's the same.

What would be a good comparison would be paying with a phone vs paying with cash. I think paying with cash would help you realise how much you spend.
