The WEF and its "You will own nothing and you will be happy" used to be laughed at by many initially because it seemed way too bond villain like. Well it's clearly happening bit by bit and people obviously don't like it because of how bad it could end up. Rent your gaming, rent your computing, rent your clothing, rent your transport, rent your residence, rent your love(r), etc, etc. That's the future plan, and it's scary as hell because of the absolute dystopia it may create. |

A lot of this stuff is happening because of Capitalism, a lot of times because it looks more convenient in the short term.
It's easier for a lot of people to pay Uber, than it is to buy a car.
A lot of people have bought into streaming, because it's cheap and easy. But they're losing out on having any control over the medium.
The AI boom is making it more expensive to own computers.
Corporations are buying housing. It was cheaper to rent a house for like $800, than trying to spend $150k to buy a house. But now it doesn't cost either of those prices, because demand outstrips supply.
