Local e-commerce subscription (e.g. Amazon prime-like); well, I'm not sure if it counts as cancelling ๐ :
For โฌ4 you get 1 month subscription of free shipping for orders above โฌ25. They started a few years ago with like โฌ12 for the annual plan (โฌ15 minimum total order from multiple stores), then increased the price, then it became โฌ15 per store, then increased the minimum order, then increased the price again, etc
I don't want to encourage the enshittification, so now with the monthly plans I can just buy it when I need it and immediately disable auto-reneweal ๐ They also started adding social features: now the front page has their own implementation of a short videos thing (like TikTok), with influencers showing various products and bad "reviews" ๐ So I reaaally don't want to be throwing money into that
I'm paid up for the year on prime but it's not getting renewed. It's massively convenient but ethically shit so I'm gonna start making more effort
