I come and go on Spotify. I really like the service but I mostly listen to podcasts (not on their app). But if I go on a road trip or for some reason the mood takes me and I want to listen to a lot of music, then I'll re-up it and they have had deals for people re-joining in the past so that was a bonus.
I used the free Dropbox account for a long time and never needed much storage, but cancelled it when they limited it to 3 devices. I understand it costs money, but I just used it for a small shared storage space, and while I would have been happy to pay them $10-20/year or something like that, they didn't really have a small plan that appealed. I moved to pCloud, but it started getting pushy with the ads and stuff, so now I'm on a self-hosted Nextcloud which I like a lot and has lots more storage than I would have got before. It's running on Oracle's free tier cloud which is pretty impressive (and I'm far from an Oracle fan), so technically it's still free I suppose.
I'm glad to say I cancelled Lastpass for a few reasons, but mostly it was the principle of the thing when they tripled the price over 2 years or so and didn't add any functionality that I could tell. I made a point to delete my data from them several years ago, so I hope it was actually purged in time for me to avoid their recent shenanigans. I moved to Bitwarden at the suggestion from some colleagues and so far, so good on that.
I'll be canceling a decade old Prime membership when it expires in July for the obvious reasons - the cost has increased but the shipping has slowed down quite a bit to where 2 days doesn't seem to mean anything anymore. I also don't use the additional services that they've added (and I'm not looking to tie myself into Amazon if at all possible), so they don't bring me any value. But the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak was when they unwittingly signed me up for a paid subscription music service when I completed a recent order. I assume I left some box checked or something, but I'm not clear how it happened and I don't care - this is one dark pattern too many and makes me fear what they might try next.
