I do agree with you that subscriptions did use to exist but I do not believe it is as ubiquitous as today and certainly not as convenient to sign up and have recurring payments just do to payment tech.
Only because I stumbled upon this a couple days ago…. A Calgary developer has this ‘mini’ 1180ft2 house available in a new desirable suburban community. Home many people’s parents were raised in a home similar to this?



How many people really *need* a 2500ft2 3 bed, 4 bath, bonus room house?
