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?

America Online.

That was a 6 month fucking ordeal to cancel, and it ended up taking bank intervention and the changing credit cards for it to finally go away.

    My aunt is still paying those leeches $20/month. Her excuse was that she didn't want to lose her email, but I've told her so many times that the email is free. I eventually just gave up trying to save her money that she'd rather burn.

    AOL has always made its living not on providing a service worthy of the money, but by exploiting the technologically illiterate.

    That said, I have a weird nostalgia about AOL since the early era of the internet was defined by my use of AOL, and AOL chatrooms, and "You've got mail" and all the various associated accoutrements, even if I'd love to stab Steve Case in the eye with a brick.
