Exactly. Most people are also not in the position to easily make $100/hr and be able to just burn money to "save time" with subscription apps.
There's another competition, your average folks who end up using physical notebooks, stock Notes/Calendar/... apps and Google Sheets when they figure the subscription isn't worth it anymore / they can't keep up with all of them due to rising CoL.
One’s time is only worth money if they would otherwise be making money. If they would otherwise be playing video games or watching Netflix, then the app they spent an hour on cost them nothing in opportunity cost.
I now code for fun with AI because it can handle the boring parts. 80% of anything is mostly drudge. And while we can’t subsist on frosting alone, having assistant that can keep you in the zone is very rewarding.
Three major iterations from now this whole conversation will be quaint and everyone will have always thought this.
