I'll start: it wasn't too long ago that one wasn't expected to pay out of one's coked up nose for programs (apps). One used to be able to buy a thing and then own the thing. Vacuum cleaners. Video games. Photoshops. Now one has to sign up for it, enter one's credit card info and fucking pay monthly for some harebrained "service."

And I blame all of you. Probably 9/10ths of you are on apple products and/or are locked into absolutely insane digital ecosystems and you all laid down and took it. All of you fucking libs. You took it, you normalized it, and fuck all of you.

    Every aspect of our existence is now transient. Home - rented, job - gig/freelance, food, entertainment, fucking toilet paper - everything is a subscription. Our atomised lives are bought, sold, and lived in weekly or monthly allotments. We have no roots, no belongings, no ownership. The means of production? We no longer even own the products.

    It’s extremely post-modern, I must say.
