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
I guess between them and Plex they're on a competition to see who can drive users to Jellyfin the fastest
I've switched to Simkl after Trakt gimped the lists feature to the point that if you do not have VIP, you can only add up to 100 entries to your lists (including your watchlist and favorites list), and make up to seven lists.
I created an account there too but the issue is from the get go the website gives me bad vibes like it's only a matter of time before they pull the rug too. I'd rather wait for a federated alternative and wing it with multiple watchlists of 100 for now :/ it's all automated with arr stuff anyway so it's not too bad
