It's really frustrating when you try to select something you want, only to be immediately redirected to a subscription-based payment model. There's no opportunity to even test things out, which kills the enthusiasm right away. It seems like everything is geared towards subscriptions nowadays, and it's a turn-off. Companies should prioritize transparency and give customers a chance to try out products before committing to a subscription. Practices like these erode consumer trust and deter many potential customers.
