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?

Oh I'm the opposite. I listen to so much music I'd be spending so much money on it.

My dad is the same and he spent thousands on CDs and later on iTunes for his music collection. Spotify and other subscriptions definitely saved him money.

    I’m the same. I think Spotify is a great service if you constantly seek new music and listen to a variety of artists and genres. However, I still find it shitty that they constantly remove tracks, especially from smaller relatively unknown artists. Half of my playlists I made 10 years ago have their tracks disabled.

    iirc a lot of tracks and albums get removed if it's later found out that samples or royalties weren't cleared on the record. For instance Death Grips' "Exmilitary" mixtape was removed a few years ago because a lot of samples on the mixtape weren't cleared with their original creators.

    Yeah it’s usually copyright disputes, because some of the tracks have stopped being available in my country for some reason or another. But what if I do enjoy that particular remix and it gets taken down? I have tons of tracks like that. Spotify makes a great case of what happens when you’re not the one in control of your music library, and it won’t completely replace music collection for me.

    The important part is that people have options, and as long as these options exist, I can't complain. But if some day in the future, everything becomes a subscription, then I will riot.

    And it sure seems like more and more services are going that route. I want to ditch Adobe for example and use Affinity instead, but if they ever move to a subsciption model too, I'll change careers and become a garbageman.

    Probably pays better than any design agency anyway.
