00:00I think in some cases subscriptions can be good but like a lot of places are now
00:05just using it just to get that quick cash in hand, get it straight
00:10out the door so people can get the product. We're getting overtaken
00:13subscription, subscriptions and unfortunately I think it's a lot of the
00:17young people who get sucked into it. They know the target, they know that
00:20they're gonna kind of, I don't want to say con, but they know they're gonna get
00:25the monies out of. You need freedom don't you? It might just be a small sector of
00:32what that service industry offers that you've got to subscribe to, so you're actually
00:36paying over the odds for something that you want rather than a free market. My
00:40main issue is just like with everywhere doing subscriptions, everywhere's getting
00:45more expensive on those subscriptions now. Like the main one I'm gonna say is
00:49like the streaming services. Netflix is going up in price, Prime's going up in
00:54price, all that type of stuff is going up in price because of how many other places
00:56have subscription services now.
