    Subscriptions with a dead man’s switch. If you don’t signal you want to keep the subscription after a few years, it’s automatically cancelled. You can sign up at the same price you left with if it cancels automatically.

      I don’t think an annual dead man’s switch is unreasonable or burdensome.

        That would be fine with me too. I think every two would be my sweet spot if it was something like spotify.

  I’m so lucky, my gym membership auto cancels if I don’t pay in advance.

    Yep, my gym would love for my membership to lapse. I also paid in advance: 2 years worth for a special limited-time promo. Now, I can renew yearly for $99. Only catch is, if it ever expires, it can’t be joined again. They will pry it from my cold, toned hands!
