And this is why streaming services, digital 'media', etc are a terrible deal for the customer. If the service goes down, you can basically lose everything, and even a refund is unlikely in other cases.
- Crontab 8y agoI am going to disagree with you where pure steaming services like Netflix and Spotify are concerned. Everyone understands they are just renting access. But otherwise I totally agree with you.
- CM30 8y agoOf course, people usually understand they're renting stuff on services like Netflix and Spotify. Though even then, it still raises one issue. Namely, how it seems basically every company now has realised that they get more money/power by endlessly renting things rather than selling them to the customer. Feels like ownership is being quickly killed off.
