@yourbrainonmoney: Subscription fatigue was about having too many choices. Subscription captivity is about not being able to leave. #tiktoklearningcampaign #edutok
the way phones removed SD card slots so we would pay for cloud storage

I think cars needing you to have a subscription for apple carplay is one of the worst things. Like imagine having a paid off car but a subscription to upkeep

Microsoft Office infuriates me the most. Tell me why I used to pay once and own the actual copy. Now I have to pay 75$/year to basically rent it.

We were cooked the minute software companies no longer allowed you to buy a program/license and they started charging subscriptions for online access.

It really irks me that if I rent a movie and start watching it I have to finish it within a day or so. That’s ridiculous.

it is INSANE to me how many softwares just.. do not have perpetual licenses anymore. Thanks to Adobe that practice has all but ended. As an artist though, i refuse to pay subscriptions because... my income doesnt work that way

To be fair, not only are they betting that you don’t want to untangle your life from their subscription, but they are making it as physically hard as possible to get any kind of support or even to cancel it.

You used to be able to buy Microsoft Office as a whole, one payment and you're done. Now you have to pay monthly forever

the fact that you cannot download a single app anymore of any kind without having essential features locked behind a monthly paywall?

Aaron T :
And the ‘free’ options have so many ads that they are almost unusable which forces you to pay. Like why am I seeing tons of ads on Snapchat daily? I have blocked so many companies on that app just so I don’t have to watch their ads or have them pop up and yet they still pop up

And this is why I've stayed FAR away from meal kit services and the like. Yes, cooking is a hassle sometimes, no I will NOT become dependent on a subscription service like that for *basic freaking sustenance*.

Why do car companies lock features the car ALREADY HAS behind a subscription? I shouldn’t have to pay a monthly fee to use the heated seats that are ALREADY IN THE CAR

I’m also getting pissed bc so many “subscriptions” sneakingly lock you into a year, and even many regular purchases I accidentally and up signing up for a subscription. Going thru my CC bill for the last 2 months and I got charged for SO much shit without my awareness
