Yeah but we're talking about < $10 for a month of content (on the one meditation app I checked).

The problem is not that one useful app demands <$10.

The problem is that for some reason "everyone" down to creators of alarm clock apps think subscription is the right monetization model.

Many of us are tired.

Please note that I personally at least am not against usage based: tokens are fine with me.

It is the stress of having to remember to unsubscribe (or feeling like a fool when I realize an unused app has been siphoning off money from my account for months) that bugs me.

yeah that sucks. My workaround for that is that privacy.com lets me give each new thing its own credit card number, and their service lets me say that credit card number can only ever be charged $10, so then even if I do forget to cancel, they can't charge me more money.

That, and sometimes you can cancel as soon as you start but still have access for the month.
