If there's a penny in your hand, it's a penny they need. Leave not one cent to be saved, not a morsel for tomorrow, because the people who control the money, want to own it all too.

There's a subscription for every need, for every hobby, for ever facet of reality. No matter what you do you can give one of these firms between 30 and 300 dollars a month to send you a box of crap you don't need.

There is no aspect of your life that is not fully monetized, and if there is, they're coming for it. A stroll through the park? Buy water from a fountain that used to be free. An old game with friends you love? Why not buy the expansion, play online only a small fee to have the latest updates and play with anyone! They'll find any avenue to sell to you and completely miss the point of what it is you're looking for, in the quest to fill that need at the highest price you'll pay.
