I know this is not a serious comment but I'm gonna reply as if it were I would argue that wages are not a subscription service, here's why.

A subscription means the company is guaranteed money in exchange for providing a service. The customer can not and will not get that money back.

A worker who earns a wage can be very easily screwed out of money they were "guaranteed" but because their contract stipulates the worker turned in their shirt with a stain on it after quitting, they dont get their final paycheck. (actual clause at a job I had)
