GP's point is that it may be cost prohibitive to some but it's too cheap to be a marker of class in developed countries. It'd be like saying a Netflix subscription is a marker of class.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoI think if you added up all software you might need as paid, from MS Word to a VPN, cloud storage ala dropbox, password manager, imagine google searxh was a oaid service instead, etc. you would arrive at circa $100.
- murgindrag 5y agoNo, I think you overestimate the financial resources of about half of the people in the US. Being able to afford $90/year for each web service is definitely a marker of class. That's even more true globally. And yes, Netflix is hard on some people too. I know plenty of people not in the software engineer class who (illegally) share Netflix subscriptions or don't have them at all.
