I can totally relate to this. If I added up the price of all the various subscriptions I'm paying for right now, I'd probably be very sad. Luckily for the vendors, I'm too lazy to do the exercise right now. Sadly for any future vendors who might want my money, I'm vaguely aware of the problem to the point that I'm highly, highly, unlikely to sign up for any new subscription based service now, unless it REALLY offers massive value. And even then it's iffy.
That said, I will still take this ala-carte world over Cable TV style bundling. But if some vendors of Internet content can work out some revenue sharing / cross-subscription mechanisms, I would be willing to give that a look if it mapped to my interests cleanly enough.
