The answer is to NEVER SUBSCRIBE, let the datacenters go the way of dark fiber after the '90s telecom bubble collapse. Maybe also a nice fat 90% corporate income tax on rentier-like businesses (subscriptions based: like SaaS, AI resellers, non-perpetual licensers, cloud storage and compute, etc). Force businesses with tax policy to only operate in a sell once + works forever, business model. Those who wish to rentier will need to spend the income on hiring more employees or put it into R&D, but the tax slides in after costs but before dividends or stock buybacks. :^)
