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?

I'm still grandfathered in from the Google Play Music days, paying $7.99/mo for YT Music + YT Premium. I will never interrupt that subscription and lose that price, haha.

You likely lose that price in December. I got an email telling me so and I believe it applies to all of us grandfathered in. Here's the relevant part of the email:

As a long-standing and valued member, you are currently paying a lower rate for Premium than the rate available to new subscribers. To show our appreciation for your loyalty, we're giving you at least three extra months at your current price before the price increase will impact your plan. Your price will not increase before your December billing date. Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to notify you again at least 30 days before the new price is effective.

Hmm, what was the subject of that email? I don't see one like that, but I want to be sure.

"YouTube Premium Price Update"

Yeah, interesting, I don't have that email. I guess I'll find out if my subscription rate increases in December!
