This is definitely on the horizon and future generations won’t even be aware of a time when you didn’t pay a subscription for every aspect of life. (TikTok screencap)

My fridge is about that old too. It's entirely possible that fridge will still be chugging along in 2050. Whereas a brand new Samsung fridge has about a zero chance of lasting until 2050.

    Not zero, about the same as the survivorship bias of old appliances.

    And the electricity cost will be about 10 times lower.

    It wont be ten times lower. I promise. I've researched this. Old Fridges only cost a bit more to run. Factor in the cost of buying a new fridge you now have to buy every 5 to 10 years and you actually come out ahead. My uncle's fridge costs him 3 dollars a month to run. That's not that bad.
