Looking for a video editor.

Short form social content, some longer cuts too.
Must be reliable, communicative and quick.

Retainer available for the right person. DM me a link to your work. Can start this week.

you'll subscribe to everything and be deeply unhappy

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

just edited a 90 minute podcast on how subscriptions are ruining everything, took four hours.

Any remote video editors in the house?

"i'm sorry dave, i'm afraid i can't do that"

instagram is now a subscription, the list never ends

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

when I ask people over 30 how many recurring payments they have and the response is "about 2 or 3"

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

@TanyaEvadne @VodafoneUK totally agree and I hope this type of process changes in the future

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

@MahdiEzz_code @zilvestro this is the way

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

@stphnbsvrt truth!

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

@luffymindset2 did you set an alert before it auto-renewed?

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

@sullenfcwn I built an entire app because of a yearly charge by Adobe. lol

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

@fer_rodgar @MyHeritage Had this before with another company - when did you cancel?

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

@PeterRalphBooks @circleboom make sure to set an alert on that this time next year, $377 is an auto renewal?

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

Something going on.

All these subscriptions emerged as quick and easy payments for access.

Then they multiplied.

Entertainment, storage, software, fitness, food, even dating.

The average person now manages dozens. Each priced “just low enough” to ignore, with each renewal frictionless by design.

We’ve normalised constant extraction by these companies.

Prices are on the rise ever so quietly, trials fade, and yet we stay. Because canceling feels like loss. Because the next one feels different.

Another month, another receipt.

@SamiStudiox safe

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

@calver @ProductHunt I think the science is most definitely there, when do you launch? I'll give it a go.

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

@calver @ProductHunt v nice concept sir, seems essential for a happier life.

[Matt Manners @themattmanners]

Soon we'll see unreal sketches from the future, inspired by the past.
