minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up123arrow-down1·1 年前 It wasn’t that hard to cancel. People are just dumb If a subscription is harder to cancel than it is to sign up, that’s anti-consumer. It’s not really anything to do with anyone’s intelligence.
minus-squareJyek@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 年前It’s not harder to cancel than to sign up though. It’s a one or 2 clock process to cancel and a whole lot of card details entering to sign up.
minus-squarewarm@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·1 年前I mean technically it is harder to sign up to Discord Nitro, you have to enter your payment details. Where cancelling is just a few clicks.

minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up61·edit-21 年前 Button that doesn’t look like a button. Unclear phrasing… Now, am I saying it’s impossible to understand? No. Do I think it rises to the level of law-suit worthy? Barely. Is it anticonsumer and intentionally designed so as to make it more difficult to unsubscribe and put up barriers to get people to stay? Absolutely.
minus-squareSippy Cup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30arrow-down1·1 年前A lot of people are dumb. Half the world’s population has a below average intelligence. Why should we allow companies to victimize dumb people? Why is that ok to you?
minus-squareSippy Cup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前I fail to see how it’s a strawman. Either you’re ok with companies taking advantage of people because they’re not very intelligent or you’re not.

It’s also illegal in EU.
