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?

    The first subscription I turned off is my gym membership 10 years ago. That was the first time I realized I was paying for air. With a few hundred dollars spread over years, I’ve amassed a pretty stellar home gym with machines and weights. Granted, the trade off is space.

    In the digital age, really nothing. The wife has Netflix but nothing on that service does shit for me. I get a screen of Max from a close friend and in return she has access to my Plex, and I let her make requests when I go sailing the seas. Max has some ok stuff.

    Anyhow, I do everything not to have a subscription to anything, minus my VPN. I also still buy blurays. Conversely, I haven’t bought a physical video game in at least 5 years - so I’ve succumbed to convenience in that regard.

      I pay for gym just to force myself to go. Uni had a free gym and I used it a lot the first month, then nothing. I just don’t have the discipline…
