This question just came to me while I was buying a subway pass. It's priced very well, provides a very good service, doesn't suffer from enshittification, and its price increases very rarely.

What are some other services which people don't mind subscribing to?

Oh no, your cloud account got banned because you commented killing Palestinian children is bad on a social media platform they also own. Now all your data is gone.

Oh no, your cloud account got banned because that hello world binary you just shared with your friend got flagged as a virus. Now all your data is gone.

Oh no, your cloud account got banned because you were using adblock on their paid streaming service. Now all your data is gone.

Oh no, you uploaded media files that you bought but they got replaced with DRM versions.

Oh no, your credit card expired and the payment didn't go through this month. Now all but 5GB of your data is gone.

Oh no, they think your 20 year old account might belong to a child and aren't letting you log in until you upload your ID and a 3D scan of your head. Now all your data is held hostage.

Oh no, they accidentally deleted the production database and your data wasn't in the backup.

Oh no, you got phished and they changed your password from under you. Now all your data is theirs.

Oh no, they suffered a data breach. Now all your data is on the dark web.

Oh no, they're developing the next generation AI. Now all your data is being used to help companies replace workers and the right prompt might just give some rando fragments of your personal information.

If only you had a copy on your local drive, just in case any of that happened.

Real shame about that fire though.
