@I_Comment_On_EVERYTHING
I will also say that I agree with you 100%. So, I am supposed to subscribe to the New York Times, Washington Post, Forbes, Netflix, Prime, any number of podcasts, and so on.

Not only do I not have that much money, but I don't have that level of organization to keep track of all of them.

I would agree that content delivery/payment is completely broken right now.
