Subscriptions, life – and gospel truth

All my life seems to be a subscription.

There have always been subs, of course. This newspaper for one. (What do you mean, you don’t have a subscription? It’s brilliant value!) And I really don’t mind paying regularly for things that I receive regularly. But lately things have been getting out of hand.

Take my TV. I used to have pay once a year for a TV licence, which I still consider good value. But I could also have subs for Sky, Disney+, Apple TV+, Paramount+, Amazon Prime, Netflix, TNT Sports… and so the list goes on. Every time I watch a YouTube video I am encouraged to take out a subscription.
