Why do I remember this exact thing existing in like 2016?

Because in 2016 it was a huge deal when they introduced a $5 monthly subscription for a few perks.

Now a $500 subscription triggers about the same level of response because we've all been worn down by subscription fatigue so much, so no one is really surprised, but we feel like we should still be really indignant and mad about this.

Subscription fatigue is real. Went to a PF Chang's yesterday and the host's desk had a sign inviting guests to sign up for their subscription to "preferred customer" service, something like $40 a month, to get 'priority seating' and drink specials. Screw that!
