On my social bubble, an impressive amount of people have cancelled their premium accounts. I had a friend who had always recommended me trying out Youtube Music for their recommendation and I used the opportunity to switch, not looking back..

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. That is a rational argument for how inflation would impact subscriptions, even when the price of the subscription does not increase. Though, wouldn't the effects of inflation be seen as being less spike-y? The highlight of this article was that visitations to the cancellation page spiked hundreds of percent week-over-week, however, inflation while crushing, hasn't spiked to such a…
I think that's more than reasonable. :)
