Why would i do this, motherfucker ?
I think a lot of consumers will welcome this (at first).
For instance, Geforce Now is a pretty appealing value proposition at current rates compared to the cost of buying and owning an equally performant gaming computer. You pay less up front and you pay less in total than the total lost to depreciation over the time of ownership.
But of course, this is the first, honey trap phase of enshitification.
Yeah you said it right, its a trap.
