In this episode of Need to Know, we unravel the invisible economy shaping how you live, spend, and consume: the subscription model. What began as a convenience—streaming, deliveries, cloud storage—has quietly become a system of financial entanglement and behavioral manipulation. From dark UX patterns that make canceling impossible to the quiet disappearance of ownership in favor of endless access, we explore how subscriptions took over your wallet, your home, and your autonomy. If you’ve ever felt like you're paying for more but owning less—this one’s for you.#NeedToKnowPodcast #SubscriptionTrap #DigitalEconomy #RecurringRevenue #FinancialAutonomy #StreamingAddiction #SubscriptionOverload #UXDarkPatterns #RentEverythingCulture #SurveillanceCapitalism #CancelCulture #DigitalMinimalism #Budgeting #OwnershipVsAccess #ConsumerPsychologyhey guys, I need a quick favor that’ll really help keep this show going strong.I’ve partnered with my podcast host to collect some listener feedback, and it only takes about 15 minutes.
