Worst part is thinking that is a boomer thing...

Yeah people subscribing to things like heated car seats, pressure cooker timer, software as a service, are not only financially ignorant they are feeding corporations that come up with the next stupid subscription.

There IS a boomer thing here, though, and it is rent-seeking.

Not renting every single thing in your life is so boomer

There was a free 3d print I downloaded. The creator had other prints that cost money. They weren't for sale. You signed up for a donation "subscription".

I asked if I could send a one time tip because I really liked the free model. I didn't hear back.
