This and almost every other tech subscription style "service" are one of the most maddening things to come out of the tech sector. The need for profit is absolutely out of control.

I'm so tired of everything becoming an ongoing subscription. In the end the most powerful vote we all have is our wallets.

It's a pretty easy thing to just immediately stop buying from companies that pull this shit.
