00:00Yeah, I've cancelled things like Netflix and stuff because I, you know, adding it up with
00:09everything else, it's sort of a luxury really when, yeah, things like, the cheaper, there's
00:15cheaper options such as Channel 4 and things like that which are like £4 a month.
00:20For business perspective, it's like money over time, so I understand why there's a growing
00:26number of businesses going for a subscription model and I can see why people are starting
00:31to cancel subscriptions, especially when, with all the like TV subscriptions and, you
00:37know, I don't know, newspapers, online services, you know, you subscribe to them and then you
00:44forget about them and money just comes out of your account every month.
00:49I don't like it, to be perfectly honest, you know, because it lures you into thinking you're
00:55getting something and then they tell you you've got to pay for it, so no, I don't like it.
