I've thought about this a lot, but the stumbling block for me is getting services onboard.

The problem is that subscription services make billions annually on forgotten subscriptions. None of them want an easy "disable" slider next to their name in a convenient app. It also makes à la carte subing easy, where you sub for a month every few months to "catch up".

Basically, good luck getting an API with an easy unsubscribe command from any subscription based service.

Make introductory rates low and let people lock in. If they unsub and then resub they will have to do so at a higher rate.
