Actually, I signed up for it when my daughter and I wanted to play some puzzle games on my iPad. Turns out A TON of games we browsed through / tried out via AppStore on it are pure scam / and really shady-looking. I thought maybe if I just click official Apple subscription and played games they went through all that sewer can be avoided. We played maybe once or twice and I kind of forgot about it; We played fruit ninja anyways. Insisting on having an iPad or any other apple device again to unsubscribe is absurd. What if iPad was my only apple device (which it was/is) and it fell down the black hole? I'm then supposed to pay until end of universe or call Tim Apple across ocean and ask for favors? It's unacceptable, no matter which company it is. ESPECIALLY since they do have web interface you can log into and do stuff regarding billing (see iCloud).

tl;dr; I paid to get away from scam, turns out I fell into one.
