Subscriptions take up an ever larger share of household budgets, which forces people to make choices and limits their access to culture and entertainment. In France, for example, the consumer association UFC-Que Choisir estimated in 2020 that households were spending more than €900 a year on internet, culture and entertainment. More recently, the Submix barometer from BearingPoint (June 2026) put the average French household’s budget for streaming subscriptions alone at €41 a month, or about €490 a year (down from €49 a month in 2025).
