    They have the right to not let people cancel with a click. They can make it as difficult as they want. It’s shitty but forced subscriptions is all they have.

    But I have a vpn and a torrent client. I will never sign up for another shitty, fragmented streaming service ever again. Stop me if you can.

      I wouldn’t hand that right to them on a silver platter. This is what consumer protection law is for.

      Why do they have the “right” to lock people into an ongoing subscription though? Subscriptions should absolutely be easy to cancel, even if there’s a termination penalty, it should not be on the consumer to jump through hoops and waste their time to get out of it.

      You can probably also call your credit card provider for a charge back. That also hurts the companies credit.
