Learned the term recently and really enjoy it, subscription fatigue is the feeling we all have had now where we are just over how everything is subscription based.

Which one was the last straw or most annoying/frustrating to you?

Man I've been having subscription fatigue since the first time I bought an RuneScape membership in 2004.

I bought a lifetime subscription for the Android app Cerberus. The dev suddenly decided to cancel all lifetime subscriptions and force people to get real subscriptions instead.

For me, this beat saber knockoff game called "supernatural" which was advertised as free on the oculus app store. Not a one time purchase. Literal lunacy.

Apple App store. Nearly every app has in-app-purchases. Just charge me upfront ffs

Hulu. I agreed to Netflix for the convenience for the price. Hulu started to get big, stuff started getting taken off Netflix, and I just went back to doing what I did before Netflix.
