Results: Changes in technology
Published on 11/06/2022
I recently lost my phone (stolen would be the more accurate term, but let's not dwell into linguistic details). And so, I decided to get myself a new phone in order to not miss a day of meaningless pursuit of scrolling through apps that don't add any value to my life but offer moments of joy that don't survive 5 seconds after having them (all this positivity is due to losing 3 years worth of pictures because I didn't have my data backed to a cloud).
Anyway, I changed from Samsung to iPhone and after a few days of downloading apps manually, trying to log in, swearing at 2 factor authentications, recover (and change) passwords (got to love transitioning between Android and iOS), it hit me how many subscriptions I have and started wondering what to cut down on.
Looking at these lists, I hope there is at least one more person who, like me, will have a revelation about where they're bleeding money and not using a service that's getting paid for. Please leave a comment if you do!
