Parasitic subscription

A parasitic subscription(...)( hopefully by coining this term, it'll be a bit easier to identify and deal with ) is a service you pay for, that you barely use or don't use at all, and is wasting your money. It's not always your fault, and you're not alone. Some companies try to manipulate people into this.
