Sadly, WeWork. They make you have to call in to cancel your subscription (I have the cheapest possible one to squat a office every now and then).

Wish they’d just put a simple ‘Cancel’ button, being a ‘tech’ company and all.

I haven't changed my meetup.com subscription. Meetup is a fantastic site for in-person events and I really want to see the service survive the Covid events even though all my meetups are on hiatus.

I opened a new bank account specifically to pay Scaleway even though they announced during lockdown that ARM servers are discontinued.

I have no subscriptions at all, so nothing changed for me. My only recurring monthly expenses are rent and utilities.

Is this because you don't have anything to subscribe to or to conserve money in some way?

I am a pretty frugal person, but the real reason is that I don’t have anything to subscribe, I find the free options good enough for my needs.

Similar here. Netflix is my only subscription and I'm considering dropping that in favor a regular TV (antenna) and free services like Popcorn Flix and Crackle.

Not him but I don't feel the need to have a subscription. I could subscribe to one service, but it has an alternative superior to it which is mostly free.
