The Subscription Economy: Why you no longer own your movies, heated seats, or software
from StirredUp · host StirredUp
The average American household now manages over six entertainment subscriptions alone—but the "leaks" don't stop at Netflix. We are now "renting" our office software, our car’s performance, and even our home security. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the $250 billion subscription economy. We explore why brands are desperate to turn every product into a monthly fee, how new "Click-to-Cancel" laws are fighting back, and what happens to your digital legacy when you stop paying the rent.
