I literally have paid a toilet subscription for the past 10 years.

Its the fee on my water bill called waste removal.

Power is a subscription model, you want to have power at your house you pay a quarterly connection fee on top of what you use.

Yeah, in my facetiousness, I forgot that I actually do something remarkably similar in terms of a sewer bill.
