      Without even looking at the list I know Amazon, Disney and Netflix will be on it.

      They know exactly how much they take every month from account that barely use them and they’d like to keep it.

      I think they should go one further with the rule. Anybody not using the service for a month gets to have it cancelled automatically, and only resumed when they use it again.

        Amazon

        For as awful as Amazon is, I’ll give them this one.

        Cancelling prime is shockingly easy compared to what most places drag you through: account settings, prime, cancel, yes I’m sure, done.

        Requiring that from everyone would be a huge step forward. Also let’s make sure it forces gyms to do it, too.

          I was subbed to Humble Choice for a while.

          Trying to skip a month was a minefield of dark patterns. At least three confirmation screens, buttons swapping places and colours…

          Also hard to boycott all the major media companies and tech companies as well

          I’d love to see the USPS bring back basic banking and then double down by providing internet AS A SERVICE.

          It would bring in two solid revenue streams for the Post Office, and cut a lot of cancer from our economy.
