Everything’s a subscription, or wants you to sign up for one. I want off this shitshow please.
Just don’t subscribe. When netflix pissed me off, I unsubscribed. When Adobe moved to a subscription based platform, I forced myself to learn alternative applications (although I still have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite from 2003 which I am still using on old laptop when needed). When Microsoft started charging a subscription to use “office” apps, I switched to LibreOffice. During Covid when I wasn’t using my gym membership I cancelled it and used that $75/month savings to start building a home gym setup (it ain’t great, but its better than nothing!)
If something is a subscription, I either find an alternative program/service, or simply don’t use it.
Ive been on the phone for an hour and they wont let me fucking cancel
Found the best answer is telling them you can’t afford it anymore, followed by telling them everything negative about your life in a lifeless tone. After a while, they’ll do anything to get you off the phone.
You can also tell your credit card company that you attempted to cancel but they won’t let you, and all future charges from that merchant should be refused.
Soooo… I’m pirating my country?

That’s not true of taxes in general—you only get taxed on income if you make income, for example—but property taxes certainly do feel like a subscription fee, because unlike other taxes, money doesn’t have to change hands in order for you to owe property tax.
Cancelling the US subscription is really hard, they actually charge you a premium for the cancellation service. I have been working on it for a while, but the customer service is just atrocious.
