  "textContent": "> I think society is experiencing subscription fatigue at this point. We are literally at a point in time where you can not only subscribe to online video games you play, you can also subscribe to the physical gaming machine itself.\n\nI avoid subscriptions and autopay for everything, myself. I always pay manually. If I have to buy a subscription, I buy 1 year and immediately cancel the renewal. Usually this is possible even if they try to make it sound like your subscription will be immediately closed. I think I have two non-renewing subscriptions right now.\n\nI don’t like the privacy or alias card solution. They may still be allowed to keep the subscription active and bill you if you don’t cancel, meaning you’d be in debt that they could send to a collector. Almost every website will instead cancel the subscription on their end if the renewal payment doesn’t go through, but it’s better not to renege on even one’s auto-commitments if it can be helped.\n\nThis is also good for people with limited brain power like myself, as you make sure you know what you’re paying for. Budgeting is also less confusing with one year payments. Either that bulk payment is in the budget this month or it isn’t, then move on. I really think widespread subscriptions and autopay are to confuse people into paying for what they wouldn’t otherwise.",
