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

The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

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.
