If a subscription would be as good as just having the file or software offline… I might even pay for it. Yes I mean including DRM-Free backups like www.gog.com

MODERATORS
I like to apply some business logic to it.
- I expect to use the product or functionality provided by x on a regular basis
- The use of x has no added utility
- The functionality and/or feature set (e.g. content) of x may degrade significantly without warning and/or recourse
- Unavailability of x is likely to render it completely useless
If most of these conditions can be regularly sufficiently true, then searching an alternative that incorporates proper ownership is a good course of action.
I only have Netflix, and it's included with my t mobile.
I guess I also have amazon prime, but I just use it for the free shipping and it gets used a lot with the family.
Wait... "limited ads"? Are there still some ads with Spotify Premium?
The songs you listen to when you are listening on random are often ads. Record companies will do "pay for placement" deals to get songs and artists they promote out there.
They used to call it payola when it was on the radio and it was illegal.

Fuckers wearing $2000 suits out here panhandling
Perhaps it 'tis a silly thing. But I just want to thank whoever did the art work for drawing the stick figure guy with the shotgun as being left handed and holding a left hand shotgun.
My mental status thanks you and as another member of the Bar Sinister, I also thank you.

Fuck Amazon but it is not like the others in the meme
Amazon lets you acquire physical items, of insane variety, delivered to your door, often for a price lower than you can find it in physical stores. Often delivered same day and almost certainly same week.
That's an insane value compared to something like a game company that's like "teehee you can pretend to own this until we get bored of hosting it and then poof fuck you!"
