I believe it makes sense to pay a subscription for fungible, consumable things.
That includes running water, access to the internet, electricity and also, for me, music and media in general. It's very rare for me to want to own a TV show or particular music album, I kind of just browse and consume and move on to something else.
Maybe for some very specific movies or albums I rewatch/listen to a lot I'll go ahead and purchase them individually.
But the key is that in none of those valid cases I'm purchasing anything outright. Once I do, I expect no subscriptions for it or any of it's features.
Otherwise what was the point of buying it? Just let me rent it.
