I have far too many subscriptions, and I should probably cancel some of those. I'm only going to list the ones I like and regularly in this comment. Git Tower.

Git Tower. I don't like git and I don't like interacting with it from the command line. Most of the time, I use either Tower or Magit to dull the pain a bit.
Spotify. All streaming services are more or less the same. IME, Spotify is the least bad of them all in terms of UI, performance, app quality, responsiveness, and compatibility. It's also the main streaming service everyone uses in my circles, so not having an account means I don't get to see my friends' playlists.
YouTube Premium. I don't like ads, but I also don't like playing what-a-mole with Google. It helps that Premium costs only $16/year in India.
Readwise Reader. It's an RSS reader, read-later service, and email newsletter inbox all rolled into one. It also lets you highlight parts of what you read, and surfaces them using a spaced-repetition algorithm. Worth every last rupee if you read a lot online.
Fastmail. Gotta have email, and I don't like Google.
Switch Online. I only have this for cloud backups of my saved games.
I don't mind subscribing to apps and services. It often ends up being cheaper than buying something upfront. My only issue with subscriptions is that there's no central place where I can manage all of them, so I'm forced to use external tools to keep track of them.
