levelsio cancels nearly all SaaS subscriptions: money now goes only to AI inference, content, data centers, power and taxes

Indie hacker levelsio says he's cancelled almost all business SaaS subscriptions — keeping only AI inference, Hetzner hosting, Cloudflare storage, Backblaze backups and taxes. He's now cancelling personal subscriptions too, vibecoding his own replacements or having Claude customize open-source projects; personally he keeps Claude Code, YouTube, Spotify, Starlink and utilities.
His summary: all his money now flows to content, data centers, power plants + water, and governments — predicting a tidal wave of SaaS displacement.
The quoted thread adds: normal people don't need to build software themselves; if even 1% of the population can, millions of new products flood the supply side and collapse costs near zero. The author says he already never pays for software, just asks Claude to find an existing extension or app.
