    Monopolistic abuse by Google and Apple taking rent form every mobile app.

      Huh? You can buy it from the app. Therefore they don’t care about the 30% fee. They’re doing this just to spite you and make it difficult to cancel.

    Ehh, I’m sure it’s something like if they let you manage your subscription through the play store, Google is entitled to their 30% cut. If you subscribe through desktop, they’d like to keep 100% of the money opposed to 70%. Might be off base, but I’d wager that’s the reason

      But they’re saying you can buy through the app. It’s desktop to cancel.

    Because more obstacles in your way like this give you more opportunity to get discouraged and just leave the subscription active longer.

        You know you can use Vencord or BetterDiscord to do this for free right? You just get the magic-upload plugin and you’re good

            Surely. Information is also good to have for those uninformed but apparently people didn’t like how I worded it.

    I could’ve sworn this practice was recently outlawed? If not, it 100% should be. If you can buy a subscription from one location, you should be able to cancel it from the same location. I feel like I remember reading about a case recently regarding notoriously hard-to-cancel gym memberships resulting in a requirement that you could cancel subscriptions whenever and wherever you wanted, but maybe I’m misremembering.
