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?

Adobe Reader needing a 5€ subscription for rotating pages. Fuck techno feudalism.

When my paid Paramount+ subscription included unskippable ads.

I loathe the trend where I pay money and they still expect me to sit through ads. That's why we all left cable to start with.

What’ll really aggravate you is that way back when cable was first rolling out, it was billed as paid TV service without ads (as opposed to the ad-supported OTA local networks). Obviously that promise didn’t last long.

It’s a tale as old as time. Its happened before, it’s happening now, and it’ll happen again.
