Levelsio cancels almost every business and personal SaaS subscription

Pieter Levels has gone scorched earth. He says he cancelled almost all of the SaaS for his business and now only pays for AI inference, Hetzner hosting, Cloudflare storage, Backblaze backups and taxes. Now the personal subscriptions are falling too: he vibe-codes his own versions, or has Claude take an open-source project that does the same job and customise it for him. What's left is content, data centers, power, connectivity and governments. His forecast is a tidal wave of cancellations once people see how much they can save. He isn't defending prod anymore. He is the horde.

As I posted before, I've cancelled almost all of the SaaS subscriptions for my business

The only thing I still pay for as a business:
- AI inference
- Hetzner server hosting
- Cloudflare storage
- Backblaze backups
- Taxes

Now I started cancelling personal subscriptions too and just vibecoding my own versions or using Claude to take an open source project that does the same and then customize it for myself

All I still pay for personally is:
- Claude Code
- YouTube (content)
- Spotify (content)
- Starlink (internet)
- Phone eSIM
- Personal cloud storage
- Electricity and water (utility)
- Taxes

So if we summarize it for both, I only still pay for:
- AI inference
- Content
- Cloud storage & hosting
- Connectivity
- Electricity & water
- Taxes

So to summarize all my money now goes to:
- Content
- Data centers
- Power plants + water
- Governments

I think we'll be facing a tidal wave of cancellations once people find out how much money they can save

It's just how the economy works
