Third, subscriptions are usually in bundles. There is no real transparency and you are not really getting a real breakdown of the costs. But we pay anyway. Are they actually worth it or we just do not have a choice anymore in a world where everything has to be subscribed to?

In today's world Of subscription Services, while I feel that they have made our lives easier, I haven't given it a thought as to maybe there are hidden costs and unfair charges unknown to the customers..

Most of the hidden costs are basically the taxes that are also charged to them by the government for having their service.
So what they basically do is pass that on to us, the consumers. But on top of that, they're not breaking down the cost of everything since it's not really a concern of the majority of their customers.

Personally, what I don't like about subscribimg is thr marketing strategy of wanting you to pay less for a year and pay more for a month. The calculations makes no sense.

Well, that's what we call 'promo'.

Soon, we'd see services like food deliveries to us and we'll be paying in subscriptions for the food that we're going to order.
People will start to calculate how much they need in able to survive in a month and if it's that more practical, it's possible that everyone is going to subscribe for monthly food delivery. Are there such services already in the US? I only think of the actual delivery but doesn't include the food.
