Fair point. I think it depends on the person. I know plenty of people without much disposable income who still pay for several subscriptions.

That's also how you get to little disposable income. It's choices people make and that's their right but it does look odd occasionally.

  • The amount of money you spend doesn’t affect your disposable income, just your savings (beyond calculating interest). Unless we have different definitions of income or disposable.

Advertisers don’t care about disposable income they care about spending habits even if the buyer is irresponsible and can’t afford it

  • Exactly, so hacker news readers are not necessarily the people who would need to be charged the most to remove advertisements. I barely shop.
