What subscription services are people paying for but not using?

Kim Komando 0:00
When I looked at all my subscriptions, I couldn't believe how many I was paying for and not using. Streaming services, apps, memberships, it adds up. That's why I use and recommend Rocket Money.

The FTC just sent Apple a warning letter about Apple News, that app pre-installed on every single iPhone. A study found that in January, Apple News ran 620 articles in its top stories. Guess how many came from right-leaning outlets? Zero. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson told Tim Cook to review the algorithm. Now, forget left or right for a second. This is an app you never asked for, on a phone that you paid for, quietly deciding what news you get to see.

Unknown 3:09
That's a great question because normally you don't want to think. When you're buying a car, I want a real transmission. I want X amount of horsepower in an engine. I got to be able to seat a gaggle of humans. But CarPlay is like a make or break.

50% of new car buyers say they will not buy a car if it doesn't have CarPlay in it or Android Auto.

What recent warning did the FTC send to Apple regarding Apple News?

Unknown 3:30
We got a 2009 Nissan Murano from McKenzie and we gave it to her. That was the first question she asked. Oh my gosh, does it have CarPlay? And I'm like, no, it's 2009. Of course it doesn't. She's looking at you like a loser dad.
