    The only case where a subscription can be good is if you don’t have that much money to afford something(if its a one time purchase), because you would have to save up for some time. That’s the only case where a subscription can be good, but this doesn’t apply to 99% of them

        That’s why I said it depends. What I was referring to is more like the usual leasing(should have clarified that). How many people are buying their car with a one time purchase and not in small rates because that’s easier to handle?

      It’s pertinent if you only need something for a short time, or if you want to test something before committing to buying it.

      Otherwise, there’s few cases where renting makes sense.
