The amount of money I have spent on subscriptions I have forgotten to cancel, or subscriptions I have misunderstood the agreement to(Adobe ahem) has to be in the few thousands or more...

This is of course my fault and I have learned to be very wary about what I sign up for, but it doesn't keep me from having an icky feeling of dark patterns that take advantage of psychological behavior.

TIP: Every subscription goes to google calendar with a notification with T-2 weeks.

This also works for paying bills on time to avoid fees like credit cards. Yes I could auto pay, but this helps me validate if I want X each month.

I will give that a shot!
