How long will this heavily subsidized price of $200/month last? Do you really think these companies are going to let you pocket all the surplus value forever?

We all know that the music is going to stop eventually and that the landscape after that is going to look very different. Subsidies will stop and investors will want their trillions in returns. Talking about "democratization" while everyone is just using other people's money is completely premature.

Airbnb "democratized travel" for a while and now they're more expensive than their predecessors.
