I'd imagine there's a considerable amount of players that are the same as me in that regard either because they don't keep track of their finances or in my case have enough disposable income that I don't have to care.

I mean meh. Subscriptions can add up if you have alot of them. But I just leave them going on auto renew to avoid potential annoyance of having to restart it when I do want to use the service because it will be that moment that something like the billing system will break...
I personally never let a subscription stay on auto-renewal, so I manually resub every month. The reason being is that I prefer to keep track of the things I'm paying for monthly, since it's easy to forget about a recurring subscription that goes on forever.

In contrast, I have a pair of friends who are subscribed to a multitude of services they don't even use anymore; from video rental, to streaming and magazines. They are always complaining about being short on money, but that's their decision.

Your mileage may vary. Even if I have the means to keep a perpetual sub, I still wouldn't do it.
