This is a monthly subscription to a Twitch streamer. Assuming you re-subscribe (which seems to be the whole point of Twitch) you are paying an extra $12 over the year, which is 2 months of subscriptions and change compared to the website.

That seems significant for even the most lazy person.

This costs a monthly subscription.

But why is this a subscription?

perhaps you should consider getting a subscription one month per year and using the extension the other 11 if you think that's a more fair price to pay

I'm curious, why you even get subscription in the first place?

Why is this a subscription?

It’s more of an annual subscription.

so unsubscribe then you are paying subscription month to month its not a one time fee.

It's a paid subscription that sets up recurring monthly billing of $10.95. Fix the post title OP.

It's $4. How is that a subscription?

Interesting, so it really is a subscription cost as well

There‘s probably a subscription.

antigirl | karma 170 | avg karma 1.29 · | 2020-08-21 14:18:27+00:00

Isn’t the trial free? It says clearly the subscription plan is for 12 months.

Makes sense for a subscription you're only keeping for a few months to watch a couple shows anyway.

Ylpertnodi | karma 365 | avg karma 0.79 · | 2024-04-06 00:00:26

Subscription.

k__ | karma 14385 | avg karma 1.6 · | 2022-06-09 15:19:26

But it's a one time fee and not a subscription.

matwood | karma 18013 | avg karma 2.75 · | 2022-12-18 18:05:11

You pay monthly, but the subscription is for a year - at least in the US.

p3rls | karma 330 | avg karma 1.86 · | 2023-04-14 17:32:58

Yeah, it's $30 a year, you need to sign in to be able to subscribe for it though

tracerbulletx | karma 2784 | avg karma 4.76 · | 2021-04-13 04:52:40+00:00

They don't go out of their way to make it clear but it's not hidden that it's a yearly subscription paid monthly. Annoying, but I knew it was a yearly sub when I signed up so wouldn't consider it particularly sneaky.
