Subscription Spiral: Broke, Confused, Subscribed
In this episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, the hosts tumble headfirst into the modern hellscape known as the subscription economy—where everything from your favorite shows to your weather app demands a monthly fee, and somehow you’re still watching ads. 🫠
From streaming services that cost more than cable to forgotten fitness apps quietly draining your bank account, we unpack the emotional damage (and actual damage) of being perpetually subscribed. Expect rants, nostalgic sighs for the days of DVDs and LimeWire, and a collective scream into the void over consumer culture in the digital age. We also manage to tie in some spicy takes on political absurdity, healthcare nightmares, and—because this is still Apocalypse & Avocados—a blunt reminder to leave trans people alone.
Takeaways include:
- We’re all accidentally subscribed to something.
- Ads should not exist in paid services, and yet, here we are.
- Subscriptions have replaced ownership and peace of mind.
- Social media is next in line to charge us for basic existence.
- The only thing we truly own anymore is our financial despair.
It’s petty, political, and painfully real, just like us.
