Utter pablum.  Slow news day? Ethically dubious journalist?<p>What consumer buys so many duplicative services?<p>Here's a piece of advice. Don't buy services that overlap in functionality.  Don't buy items you can't afford to use.  Consider the total cost of ownership.<p>The entire tone of this article is one of yellow "jurinalistic bias" and does not reflect accurate market research on consumer behavior let alone consumer need.<p>The author comes across as little more than a petty financially irresponsible, and technically ignorant, whiner.
