Shouldn’t it have been the Odyssey? By the time you unsubscribe, ten years have passed, nobody recognizes you, and your wife is fending off suitors.
Homer warned against letting your wife set up an OnlyFans.
Yeah, Iliad makes no sense in this context. It’s long but straightforward.
I liked Louis Rossman’s take on the FTC’s actions. https://youtu.be/9_uMnVjxsHY
I’m gonna shill a little: just use Revolut.
I keep it empty, then when I want to actually pay for the subscription I top it up and retry the payment manually.
Just cancelled prime a few days ago and yea it was a pain. I love all the small shady crap like using a grey text box for the “cancel membership” button and the blue one for “resume membership” followed by another page full of reasons why you shouldn’t cancel and double checking to make sure you know your losing the benefits. I swear it might’ve been a total of 4-5 pages.
Side note, more companies need to be held accountable for this as well. There are a lot of streaming services that do the same thing.
I cancelled months ago, but they never cut me off from the streaming or prime shipping. I’ve checked multiple times to make sure I’m not being charged, and so far so good.
Did you pay by yearly subscription? Might just be you already paid for the next several months until it expires, and just won’t renew the next billing cycle.
Otherwise that sounds like a bug that benefits you haha
I did, but I cancelled before the next year so who knows what’s going on. For a while I wondered if maybe there’s few enough people canceling that it was cheaper just to let them keep the service rather than hire someone to code the thing to remove them.
I’ve got quite a few bones to pick with Amazon but canceling Prime isn’t one of them. Compared to calling a customer representative who barely speaks my language after being on hold for an eternity, Amazon is straightforward and easy.
I kinda agree, yes, they used dark patterns to make fewer people cancel, but many companies do worse, like make you pick up the phone. And they don’t trick people into signing up - people sign up for the free trial willingly and knowingly.
That being said, I agree that companies need to be reined in. Consumer protection in the US is severely behind.
