Zedge comes to mind. A site for buying ringtones (among other things like notification tones and wallpapers) or at least barred you from downloading the β€œpremium” ones without subscription.

Oh my fucking god, memories of that scam service β€œJamba” flooding back. It was like two years in a row of Crazy Frog ads for it.

I don’t understand how Zedge still exists, and is apparently doing relatively well too

There will always be tech un-savvy people who prefer to pay for something (and have someone to call when it doesn’t work) than have to spend 5 minutes learning how to do it themselves.
