Okay, the title is over the top, once we can move on from that, have you ever thought about microtransactions? at first, it was really simple because only the truly unnecessary items were microtransactions, like a movie or a game DLC. but later, once people became more accepting of these tiny fees, then, it was streaming services, and then they began forcing monthly fees to use software that originally you could just buy for a one-time fee.. but now you have to subscribe to this software, and pay a monthly fee, it's like a whole microtransaction economy has emerged to nickel and dime us into oblivion..
So, the wife was watching some movie and randomly decided we needed cameras and video doorbells and motion detection lighting the whole home security nine yards thing. Since I'm a gadgets and gizmos kind of guy I'm like cool, amazon the stuff and I'll set it all up.
The stuff comes in I hook it up, and surprise fee. The Binks doorbells require a monthly subscription fee.....
I have to pay to use the doorbells I already paid for.. have you ever thought about how much money you spend monthly on little bitty BS fees?.. I have, especially lately..... it's not the money of it,, its nickles and dimes.... it's the principle that a man shouldn't have to drop a quarter into his doorbell every time someone rings it... metaphorically, that's what it is....
