About

Unsubscribed is a small experiment about cancelling subscriptions.

Someone cancels a thing they don't want any more, says what it was costing them, and the number at the top of the front page goes up. That number is the whole idea: a public running total of monthly spending people say they have stopped paying.

It is self-reported. Nobody checks it and nobody can — I can't see your bank account and I don't want to. A report is a service, an amount and a time. No account, no email, no name, no tracking of who said what.

Steve is a shark. Steve is not a financial guru. Steve is just trying to save money, and he occasionally binge-watches Netflix because it's lonely at night.

Everything I write about it — what people are cancelling, how to get out of a subscription, what to do with the money once you have it — lives on the blog, and goes out as RSS. That feed is the subscription here, which is either a joke or the point.
