“Subscription” doesn’t feel like an accurate word for all the stuff we subscribe to.
When you cancel a magazine subscription, Time doesn’t come and take all the issues back.
When you cancel a Hulu subscription, you can’t watch the show for which you’ve been paying for months or years.
Do you like your Spotify library? Hope you’re ok with paying for it for the rest of your life.
What do we call these? “Service plans”? “Rentscriptions”?
