Do you?
Yes I own things because I simply don't pay for something if I'd need to open proprietary software or pay a subscription fee to use it.
It's really quite simple and remarkably easy to do, it's just more mental load to decide what to buy and people just want to pay monthly and forget about it and get mad when it stops magically working.
Definitely not my car. And if I can help it, it's going to stay that way.
I think it depends on the definition of own, if it can be sold to someone else who will then own it. If it doesn't have value like that, then it is just something you have, like pocket lint.
I don't own my digital media but nobody is taking it away from me 😎👉
