I went through my credit card statement this month and am cancelling a bunch of things I barely use. The mess of subscriptions most of us are forced into is getting absolutely insane and the "software makers need to do this to be able to eat!" excuses I see here are just silly.

I don't want my card dinged every month. I don't want to "manage" dozens of different subscriptions across different companies that all have different systems and methods for managing your "relationship" with them.

Have you thought of switching to yearly?

Switching to yearly subscriptions wouldn't accomplish much for me other than forcing me even deeper into the relationship (because now I am committed for at least a year instead of having the option to cancel on any given month), and inevitably I will forget to cancel if I don't want the service anymore and then be "dinged" for another years worth of subscription fees at some point.
