The Subscription Apocalypse: How We Became Digital Renters

Deep Dives in the Shallow End

In this sardonic deep dive, Donovan exposes the dark underbelly of the subscription economy that's slowly bleeding us dry $12.99 at a time. From forgotten meditation apps to the streaming service wars, discover how we transformed from proud owners into perpetual renters in just one decade. Learn why that "cancel anytime" button is harder to find than inner peace, why your bank statement looks like a crime scene, and how subscription creep turned your monthly expenses into death by a thousand cuts. Through razor-sharp wit (self-flattery) and uncomfortable truths, Donovan breaks down how the subscription economy grew 350% in the last decade, turning everything from software to underwear into a monthly payment plan. Whether you're drowning in streaming subscriptions or just discovered you're still paying for that meditation app you opened twice in 2022, this episode is your wake-up call to the reality of modern digital serfdom.

Perfect for: Anyone who's ever wondered why they're paying for 17 different streaming services to watch three shows, or who's tired of being in a toxic relationship with their subscription services. Listen in to laugh, learn, and maybe cry a little about the state of modern consumerism.
