Subscriptions will be the death of us

How many do you have? Seems innocent enough, just a few dollars a month or as they used to say “pennies a day”. Some of you are saying “What’s a penny?” 🤣

Seriously, add them up, it’s killing us by just a few more dollars every month.

In my Instagram feed I get lots of ads now like everyone and one that I’ve seen many time was for the reMarkable tablet, note taking with a pen and paper feel. Being a bit of a tech junkie I looked a bit deeper. How much does this reMarkable thing cost?

Well, right now it’s about $549 CDN plus all the shipping, handling and taxes etc. but check out the subscription hook!

To maintain full functionality of your $549+ purchase there is a $4.99/month subscription! A subscription that will slowly increase over time or take a sudden jump like my YouTube premium subscription just did from $17.99 to $22.99/mo.

So reMarkable, no thanks.

The subscription model? Death by a thousand cuts.
