First, let’s abolish the “recession-proof” misnomer. Just like watches are no longer described as “waterproof,” subscriptions are not completely recession-proof, and thinking they are could lull you into a false sense of security Subscription businesses are, however, recession-resistant.

I'm not sure what other diversities they're looking for.

This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
