This question just came to me while I was buying a subway pass. It's priced very well, provides a very good service, doesn't suffer from enshittification, and its price increases very rarely.

What are some other services which people don't mind subscribing to?

I loved Um, Actually a lot when Mike Trapp hosted. It was formatted well for people to play along with at home and the trivia spanned a greater gamut of nerd culture.

Now that Iffy is hosting, the format seems to have become more like "watch them play the game" with shiny questions that are physical interactions they contestants perform like shoot the character we photoshopped with nerf darts or hurry and put these things on different walls based on some category and see who got more. They show less and less of the art or games so we can't even try to solve it along side the contestants.

Also, the content has narrowed with a significant increase in anime questions. And a sharp increase in making "themed" or special episodes.

I feel the direction has focused more on what Iffy is interested in rather than what they viewers are interested in. It's turned me off of the show and a lot of my family as well.
