Idk, I pay for my utilities based on usage, and there are fees too. The fees maybe could be argued are subscriptions, but they’re not the majority of the bill
I’m sure you get my point. Yes you have to pay the water bill to flush the toilet. There’s lots of other “subscriptions” for utilities like power, garbage collection, sewer. We call those bills not subscriptions and they’ve been around as long as modern society. I think we can take those for granted. Not in the same league as the subscription hell we’re seeing for online services these days.
I’m from NL… Would be better if there was a subscription to use toilets instead of paying 50c or more every time. Always have to carry coins around just incase you need to pee. Super annoying.
It’s called a water bill. You pay it monthly, even if you don’t use any water!

To that point you already pay for internet in the same way you pay for water. Paying for a specific website is like paying to use a toilet.
Analogy stands.

I forgot that in some countries toilets aren’t free to use. That’s wild!
