    Paid calculator apps.

    Not only are many of them paid - but they are subscription as well. Imagine paying a monthly fee for your goddamn calculator.

    it’s not an entire app but, discord profile decorations.

    The fact it costs money isn’t surprising, but the amount of money charged is hilarious.

    17$ for some graphics that some look like they took about 20 minutes to make. Just to make your profile look different than everyone elses. Then the “discount” given for having nitro for it is even more laughable.

    Whats equally insane is that people fall for it. I know some people that have easily spent 60$ on profile decorations. Spending equal or greater than the cost of discord nitro is insane to me, even if the decoration doesn’t expire.

    Spotify and apps like it. Imagine paying a subscription to a subpar selection of music when you could just download mp3s. Imagine having skipping a song being a privilege. Are you an abused kid? Is drinking water a privilege too? I paid once for BlackPlayer simply because it’s my favorite music player app. The most important features were free.
