This is great for a lot of things, but I find I suffer from "subscription fatigue" lately where I'm reluctant to sign up for anything new because the amount of subscriptions slowly gets out of control. It might work for netflix and other giants but I'm not sure if it's viable for smaller players.

I think there's a business opportunity for someone to build a subscription management service that acts as an intermediary between users and those smaller players. Make it easy for users to subscribe / unsubscribe, track free trial periods, provide customer service, etc.
