    I mean, I used to believe people were better at keeping track of those things, but now I know a lot of people aren’t even aware of all of their subscriptions.

    It’s likely a fair amount of people forget and later get charged for quite a while, they just bank on those.

      Exactly. Even if you only let one or two payment cycles go by and then cancel, that’s still money in the bank, and-- perhaps more importantly-- someone’s KPI (like “number of paid conversions” or something) goes up. It’s a “win” for someone, even if you feel cheated.
