The reasoning behind many people claiming that ~$1500/year for software subscription services being "too much" is, in my opinion, not based on the intention to save money.
Rather, it seems to be the realization that these subscriptions cost way more than the perceived value of the benefits they bring.
In other words, spending $1500 a year for e.g. a health insurance might be reasonable. But spending the same $1500 for a year-long subscription of toilet paper might not be.

Trying to judge if other people are spending too much on entertainment seems like it's innately subjective, since different people want and enjoy different things.
