    That is an extremely stupid model for recurring billing.

    I hear you pay monthly. How would you like to pay your monthly more monthly?

    You already can with shit like Flex. Absolutely garbage service, it takes a $2000 rent bull and lets you pay $1500 now and $800 in a couple weeks. Predatory as fuck.
