Companies are making it exhausting to cancel, get help, or get your money. They profit when you give up.

I subscribe to as little as possible. Subscriptions easily stack up. I think I only pay for Internet and phone at this point.

I’m with you here, except my phone isn’t really even subscription anymore since I pre-pay yearly.
But my car and home insurance are technically subscriptions, even if basically mandatory ones, and also Internet. That’s it, though.
I used to have several, but they got expensive, and value I could justify spending for just wasn’t there anymore.

Subscriptions became too much like cable tv. Meh. I removed the headache of subscribing for everything or rotating services based on what I wanted to watch to self hosting.

Cancel the charge. Cancel the card. Block any further charges. Done. Fuck em.

This is the way. With enough cancelations, the payment processor will either raise their rates, or drop service with the company all together.

Tired of all those dead subscriptions? Don't worry, there's a subscription for that!
