      My rule for a while has been to limit myself to one major subscription at a time. It really curtails the rampant streaming costs.

      I made an exception for spotify for a while (so I’d have spotify + one streaming service + maybe one small low-cost one) but with how expensive they’ve all gotten I’ve reverted to only spotify and low-cost stuff.

      Right now I just have spotify and dropout TV so I can catch up on Dimension 20.

      I hope it eventually switches from “give out the secret number to take your money” to “use the secret number to spend your money”. Then I can use a script, a third party service, or whatever to handle recurring payments.

      100% agree with you. It’s why I use Privacy.com and set a limit to what it can charge. Stuff gets more expensive without me noticing, welp. I gotta decide if it’s worth it to keep paying.

      (Sorry, sounds like a shill. It’s just saved me multiple times in the past.)
