What subscription finally gave you "subscription fatigue"?

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?

Sync for Lemmy. I was looking forward for the app, but the subscription to remove ads made me stick with Connect instead.

Then do the one time payment option that was added literally a couple hours after the launch of the public beta?

I just can't fathom paying for an app that still has that super annoying comment bug that shows up in every large comments section, especially with all of the fully functional FOSS alternatives.

To me, Jerboa is superior. At the end of the day, it is designed by Lemmy developers and the UX/UI is simple enough.

It's the only app I've seen that show the number of upvotes AND downvotes, not just the sum.

Oh, I've noticed that. Does the dev know about it?

They do if they're at all active in their community. Lots of people complain about it. Despite being a premium app, they do seem to get things done more slowly than the FOSS stuff.
