    Yeah. The subscription model really only took off during GenZ.

      not only that, but people usually use boomer, in this context, to say that the complaint is stupid, or selfish, or something

      the gradual loss of ownership is a real fucking issue

        “Boomer” has lost all meaning. It has just become an empty counter for when you disagree with someone but you lack the emotional intelligence to have an actual discussion about something other the superficial.

      I’ve always blamed Adobe for the subscription mess, and that started in the early 00’s.

      There was a joke about “rethinking the Microsoft model” in a 2005 episode of The Office. The move to subscription based software has been in the works for 25 years or more.

      And no gen-Z is happy about this model or pushing its use. It’s mostly being pushed by Gen-X and Boomer executives as a further mode of profit extraction in our rentier economic system.

        Sure, we’ll just wait for the gen-Z executives to roll it al back then right? It’ll never happen, this is a money thing, not a generation thing.
