Serious question but, do people actually pay monthly for this stuff? No hate I am just legitimately curious the reasoning people sub to services like this.

(Edit) Thanks for all the responses, never thought about it that way.

A lot of people do, you can check out some creator pages and see they make hundreds of thousands a month. I didn’t really understand either until I thought of it as like a twitch subscription for people that don’t stream. Like you can chuck a creator you enjoy a few dollars a month for the entertainment they provide you. Helps with the moral, I hate but like to see people getting paid, thing.
