I don’t like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.
I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don’t have my secure 24 digit password with me.
I won’t subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.
Edit: They don’t even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.
I’m impatient too fucking hate waiting for it To deliver. I want it now goddamn it
I don’t think this is what OP meant, but one thing I absolutely love about having a 3d printer is having physical things ‘delivered’ now-ish lol
Me too.
I cannot give this full credit but…
“Garbage is garbage, put it in the trash.”
You posted it. Nobody on the internet lies. Ergo, it’s your trash.
“swish”
/s for those that need it
I am mostly the same, but I also enjoy video games and movies and shit… Which only need to be digital. I can always put them on physical media myself if I have need. But I never buy shit for the games in the game, like I ain’t spending $20 real money to have my character in a fursuit. That shit is stupid, especially when I’m coming from the golden age of online gaming where you could just upload that shit yourself and everyone would see it.
I also won’t pay for an always online game anymore. Back when the servers were run by players, it didn’t matter much because the game could never truly die. But with the servers being entirely controlled by the dev/publisher, I am not willing to pay for a game that they can just shut off and make unplayable at any point.
I think that this opinion is only unpopular with very few people - and all of them are very, very rich.
So you purchase no services?
That is tricky. I don’t think I purchase services that are not immediately consumed.
No Netflix or Spotify. I do get utilities, but I doubt that is your meaning.
Do you have an example?
Oil changes, tax preparation, deep tissue message. Paying someone else to do something you don’t want to or can’t do yourself.
Great, thank you. Those are not what I mean.
Oil changes result in a receipt and new oil. Tax prep resilts in a receipt and a task completed. Deep tissue message gets a nice feeling and a receipt. None are digital only.
Paying someone to play music for me does likely fit. It may be a weakness in my thinking.
