What subscription finally gave you "subscription fatigue"? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Learned the term recently and really enjoy it, subscription fatigue is the feeling we all have had now where we are just over how everything is subscription based.

Which one was the last straw or most annoying/frustrating to you?

That's why people switched to cable to start with. Broadcast TV had ads and cable didn't.

People have depressingly short memories and a depressingly long patience for megacorporate thievery.

Ads on cable channels first happened in 1971. I doubt most people on here were born yet then.
