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?

        by the time I had my own money I didn’t even think of getting pay tv because it was already running more ads than free to air.

        Never had subscription fatigue because paid services have never been better than the free option in my experience.

        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.

      Luckily I did the 6 month free trial and learned. 6 months is generous, ads are not.

      What’s the point of paying for a subscription if you still get ads 🤷🏻

      Marvelous strategy model.
