Learned the term recently and really enjoy it, subscription fatigue is the feeling we all have had now where we are just over how everything is subscription based.

Which one was the last straw or most annoying/frustrating to you?

        What’ll really aggravate you is that way back when cable was first rolling out, it was billed as paid TV service without ads (as opposed to the ad-supported OTA local networks). Obviously that promise didn’t last long.

        It’s a tale as old as time. Its happened before, it’s happening now, and it’ll happen again.

        by the time I had my own money I didn’t even think of getting pay tv because it was already running more ads than free to air.

        Never had subscription fatigue because paid services have never been better than the free option in my experience.

      What’s the point of paying for a subscription if you still get ads 🤷🏻

      Marvelous strategy model.

      Luckily I did the 6 month free trial and learned. 6 months is generous, ads are not.

      I’m still refusing to pay for P+ in the UK. They nicked us about so much with Discovery, Picard and Lower Decks all being on Netflix and Amazon, then started pulling the rug from under us with Dis S3 and it appears maybe LD S4 this year. I’m not paying for a whole new service for one franchise no matter how much I love it. At least Disney got Marvel, Star Wars and all the Fox content before trying D+.

      I still haven’t forgiven Paramount+ for making me watch that train wreck of a Halo show.
