If making it hard to cancel services is FTC worthy…
The current FTC thinks everything is FTC worthy....
As a consumer, it better be.
The FTC as currently staffed is doing it's best to sink the US economy..... Never thought I'd say this, but I miss the people Obama appointed.... Everyone since has been monumentally stupid.
Pretty sure making it easy to cancel Prime is not going to sink the economy. Saving the money on a unneeded prime subscription is the type of thing that would arguably help the economy.
Cancelling Prime or those free trial channels is a pathetic frustrating experience. If a service is 2 clicks to signup it should be 2 clicks to unsubscribe. Prime is a sad case.of entrapment. Its simple to shrug off being in tech, but ask your 80yr old mother/aunt etc to figure it out. I hope they fine them 100M. Its deliberate.
I cancelled recently and it wasn’t that hard you’re being dramatic. Also… doesn’t there have to be a law that you breaking to get fined? What law does this break
Yeah isn’t there literally a manage membership button in the Prime page to allow you to cancel. I think the real issue is people are buying stuff on the internet without being able to do moderately difficult tasks on the internet.
Much harder to cancel a gym membership or NYT subscription. But I support broad fixes to these things
NYT unsubscribe process is so bad I nearly went to my credit card company over it

What's "lliad Flow"?
like the Illiad was a long and arduous journey, so too was the process for cancelling prime (I guess) (I wouldn't know, I've been banned from amazon about 5 times lmao, they have terrible opsec)
