The $200 Subscription Revolution Nobody Saw Coming
Your Netflix costs $15 a month. Your Spotify costs $10. Your gym membership costs maybe $50.
But right now, millions of people are happily paying $200 a month for AI tools. And they're saying they'd pay even more. This is completely insane.
And it changes everything. Think about it.
Five years ago, if you told someone they'd spend more on software than their car payment, they'd laugh.
Today, people are canceling dinner plans to afford their AI subscriptions. And they're not complaining. They're grateful.
Because these tools aren't just apps. They're doing actual work. The kind of work that used to take entire teams, entire days, entire paychecks.

One person with the right AI can now research like a PhD student, write like a copywriter, and create videos like a film crew. In minutes, not months.
But here's what's really wild. We're not even close to the peak.
Consumer spending is about to be completely rewritten. Instead of food, rent, and entertainment, it's going to be food, rent, and software. That's it.
Those are the three categories that will matter. Your entertainment budget? Gone to AI video creators that make personalized content just for you. Your shopping budget?
Replaced by AI stylists and curators. Your education budget? Now it's AI tutors that know exactly how you learn.
The companies winning right now aren't the ones with network effects or fancy moats. They're the ones shipping fastest. While everyone else is debating strategy, the winners are launching, updating, and launching again.
Speed is the only moat that matters when the technology changes every month. And we're still in the early days.
The models getting released next year will make today's AI look like calculators. The companies that survive won't be the smartest or the best funded.
They'll be the fastest. The subscription economy just got a complete rewrite. And most people haven't even noticed yet.
The question isn't whether you'll be paying $200 a month for AI tools.
The question is which ones you'll choose when everything else becomes optional.
