I got an email on Sunday morning congratulating me on my new subscription to Amazon Music, which was weird, because I hadn’t subscribed to Amazon Music.
That's incredibly unethical and sneaky and no doubt whoever came up with the corresponding, don't make it easy for them to unsubscribe won an industry award and an (amazon) prime seat in hell.
Maybe check what services are available with your library ‘subscription’.
On a more serious note, a colleague had to cancel his credit card due to a hack, and get it re-issued. He took the opportunity to check through all his subscriptions and cancel those not used in a while. He said it took quite some time to work through the cancellation processes.
This is why I refuse to have a device like Alexa in my home. Phones are bad enough as they do spy on you if they are powered up and although not "on" they're still listening. Yeah it's tin foil hat territory but it's also verifiable.
Unbelievable! I just got bit for another US$100 subscription to an editing app I'd completely forgotten about.
I toy with cancelling all of the subscriptions and then seeing what we really can't live without. These bastards are nickel and diming me into penury.

There's a definite difference between what we think we're paying and what we're paying. I would hate to actually look.
Topical. I was talking to a mate yesterday, who tallied up all his subscriptions services and it was running to $230 a month all up.
I'll be checking mine now, from this here crow's nest, atop the mast of me sailing ship flying a happy black flag.
