I did some math and thinking how expensive is to actually be on the internet if we don't want ads and our data to be used.
I read around 5, 7 papers regularly every month.
- new york times 0.5c/week
- economist 29eur/month
- wired ~$2.5 / month (i think)
- fortune 29.9
- the new stack (free? I guess)
- medium - 5 eur/month
Total: $820usd/year
Storage
- I use google as it's the most simple, reliable and complete 19.99month
Total: $239/year
Entertainment
- youtube video - $17.99/month
- netflix - $12.99/month
- prime - $4.99/month
And thang God for streamio with real-debrid plugin
Total: $431/year
Food
- glovo prime - $6.99/month - because they are assholes and add taxes to transportation, service (whatever the fuck that mean). Same goes to those dickheads from uber, airbnb, takeaway etc.
Total: $83.88/year
This does not include other profesional subscriptions I have:
InteliJ, todoist, etc let say an extra $300/year
So we are looking at around $1800, $1900 /year
I admit i don't pay for all the papers at the time. Mostl'y using free tier or pay for the one suits me well that month. But the rest. I kind need them because most of them they are forcing me to do so or i need them
This is not easy sum for most. And you don't get you money's worth. There are months when I don't open netflix or prime for example and not canceling subscription.
We need to bring back the pay per use.
