It’s obviously not just folks with ADHD but I am sure that a fair percentage of neurodivergent folks take out subscriptions as it’s a buzz to do, makes you feel part of something bigger and dopamine flushes through – in my experience the following happens:

1. Excitement at seeing something you like
2. To and fro deciding if you’ll make the most of the subscription to justify the cost
3. Think that you might not ever get it at that price/saving again
4. Take the plunge and sign up, yes I know that it’ll go up in price after 3,6,9,12 months. I’ll cancel in good time
5. Get months into the subscription way past the end of the promotional price and realise that you don’t really use it enough
6. Forget step 5 and do something else instantly
7. Go back to step 5 a few months later and see that you have to phone up to cancel the subscription (why not email or live chat?)
8. Pluck up the courage to phone and cancel.
9. Get persuaded by the very nice and skilful sales person who gets you a new introductory deal.
10. Rinse and repeat – back to step 5.
