  1. Definitely gonna keep my subscriptions as minimal as I can, like I currently am: just a VPN. Obviously I have a few others I'll need in the future like utilities, internet, and phone, but those are the bare minimum you need since you can scrape by without paying a dime for content thanks to piracy, so long as you are careful.
  2. I have a couple of ones that I'd say are both high on the list ( no idea which is higher because they're both pretty annoying to me ).

The first is that when I do dishes at home, I put certain things a very specific way when filling the dishwasher and putting things away, which is why I absolutely hate when other people do dishes. I'll deal with other people doing the dishes, but then I always feel like I gotta go and put things back where they belong when I'm not the one to put the dishes away.

The second is more furry fandom specific. So, when it comes to fursuits, some people might ditch the fursuit head and just maybe wear the paws or other pieces of it if it's not a single piece costume. My gripe is specifically that: not wearing the head. I don't care if you poodle ( wear a partial and show some skin ), talk in suit, or whatever, but I think it's extremely disrespectful to the character your suit is based off of, whether it's your fursona, OC, an adopt, liberty suit, whatever, to not wear the head at a bare minimum. It's why my opinion the bare minimum you should do for a fursuit commission should be the head.

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

When you have a world of billionaires, everybody's reaching out their hands, begging, and shaking ass. This is called the Gambler's Economy. Where weak men rule over those that work and produce value.

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.

Can i pay extra to not have continuous updates that often breaks shit?

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