good points. i’m not necessarily trying to stop subscriptions, just trying to understand what makes the business model work and where the business model is susceptible to breaking

Maybe someone creates a reminder app which causes a large number of people to use it in a particularly unprofitable way.

Boycott might be rumors of widespread refusal to honor.

I don't know much about the program but nothing's perfect. That being said they should've thought of all these things. I enjoy adversarial thinking or else I'd probably not spend much time on this. Do you actually want to stop subscription culture?

how might one game a subscription?

like continually disputing charges with your credit card provider every month?

and what would lead to a total boycott?

Either systemic gaming by customers to where it's unprofitable, that or total boycott. Still wonder what an Applebees subscription gets you. Maybe I'd pay if they'd refuse to let me enter the building.
