The issue is what things default to. If you have to figure out if you need to subscribe to X or not, it's a meeting, get stakeholders, input, sign off etc all while you have other demands on your time. If you don't get through with it and figure it out, then that service goes to the default - i.e you keep subscribing.
On the other hand, if you cancel everything, then the default will be off. Essential services will require you to go through the hoops again because they are essential.

- ALittleLight 7y agoBeing able to move fast means trying new things, not having tons of processes, and taking risks. It doesn't seem like an inherent problem if you sign up for stuff you actually don't need so long as you have the money to pay for moving fast. When you're short on money you need to be more cautious and course correct.
