The Rise of Subscription Culture: Are We Losing Ownership?

In 2023, most people are hooked on subscription services like Spotify and Apple Music, borrowing their favorite tunes and movies. This shift in ownership has led to a "sharing economy" where only a few elite individuals possess everything, while the rest resort to borrowing just to survive.

You might think these are just subscription models, but what about the games you buy from Steam, the PlayStation store or the Xbox Store, do you own those games? Or do you just own access to those games? If you own it, shouldn’t you be able to resell, lease, or even borrow it to someone else? These are just a few examples of how big tech has created a business model that has almost entirely erased personal ownership. And entertainment is just the beginning. why is everything a subscription?

From ownership to membership, subscriptions
