What is subscription fatigue?
Subscription fatigue is consumer exhaustion with recurring app charges — the growing audit instinct that cancels monthly fees which don't map to ongoing service.
Context
Memory apps sit dead-center in the fatigue: your photos don't renew monthly, so the fee feels like rent on your own past. One-time-purchase apps like Bubbles In Time are the category's counter-position.
