I’m really surprised that people have subscriptions to all kinds of shit. The only things I pay subscriptions for are Netflix and Peacock, which total about $10 per month. I can’t recall cancelling any subscriptions because I don’t sign up for a bunch of shit in the first place.
Local e-commerce subscription (e.g. Amazon prime-like); well, I’m not sure if it counts as cancelling 😅:
For €4 you get 1 month subscription of free shipping for orders above €25. They started a few years ago with like €12 for the annual plan (€15 minimum total order from multiple stores), then increased the price, then it became €15 per store, then increased the minimum order, then increased the price again, etc
I don’t want to encourage the enshittification, so now with the monthly plans I can just buy it when I need it and immediately disable auto-reneweal 😅 They also started adding social features: now the front page has their own implementation of a short videos thing (like TikTok), with influencers showing various products and bad “reviews” 🙄 So I reaaally don’t want to be throwing money into that

I’ve been doing this for Amazon Prime. I shop there as infrequently as I can manage, but sometimes it’s just the best way to get something I need. In those cases, when I check out, they invariably offer me 15 days of Prime for like, $4.99 or something. So I accept the offer. Place the order, then later that day, cancel the Prime subscription. They issue a pro-rated refund, so I end up paying about $0.35 for 2-day shipping on any order.
I recently cancelled my Tuta subscription; their cheapest tier’s price comes close to renting a server and hosting your own email, but I can also use the server for anything else I want :D
I’ve recently cancelled apple, netflix and kindle unlimited. Netflix yanked the price up and so much on it is shit quality. I still have amazon telly and disney, so apple had to go (although its VG). I need disney for the sitcoms.
