Subscriptions are everywhere—streaming services, software, groceries, even the heating in your car. Companies have convinced us that subscriptions will make our life easier. And sure, that might be true. But what they don’t want you to know is the real damage that’s been done by the subscription economy. This is how subscriptions are poisoning society.
