I don’t pay for StackOverflow or Medium for largely the same reason: too much variability in quality to take on a recurring subscription.
I buy Udemy courses pretty liberally, even though they also vary in quality. If I get a dud, maybe there’s a refund process but, more importantly, there’s no continual leak in the bucket going to them.
I do pay for Netflix (though consider canceling somewhat regularly), Comcast Internet, Ting mobile, and Amazon Prime, but no other subscription services (that I can think of). I’m generally opposed to time-based subscriptions, especially where the value (or significant costs) are not time-based.
