Fuck Subscriptions

Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

MODERATORS

≤ 50€/year for domains
~3.5€/month for 1TB Hetzner StorageBox
35€/month for Twitch Subs
5€/month for @FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz's Ko-fi (that broke, but cute, nerdie and headpet-worthy, bastard)

So, soon ~1080€/month for more or less life necessities, 7.5€/month for useful subscriptions, 10€/month for replaceable subscriptions, 10€/month as donations but 40€/month for subscriptions where a substantial part goes to Amazon.
