Netflix and Spotify actually makes sense to be subscription based. Amazon depends on how often you do shopping through them since it's actually free (if you don't include the fees) to function. I definitely wouldn't pay for Dropbox but cloud storage and sync pretty much has to be a monthly subscription. If you are going to be against something at least be against to the parts that makes sense to be against of.
Yes, and life still works fine without them..nobody is forcing you to subscribe to Netflix. Keep paying your monthly cable subscription like the old days.
I ain't got no cable, last time we had cable i watched for 2 weeks and after that everything was just repeating what i had already seen in those 2 weeks and loads of nonsense shows.
I prefer doing things, like learning new skills or doing something active.
