Oh look, a list of shitty companies everyone should avoid.
How nice of them to make it for us.
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.
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’m picking up qhat you’re putting down about shitty companies but the problem with your guess is that almost 100% of the shitty companies using shitty marketing techniques you encounter in the average week are all outsourced to marketing firms like the three petitioning the lawsuit.
No intention of this being “HAHA YOU WERE WRONG!” Just wanted to let you know there weren’t only 3 petitioning companies named in the court document. Unless they list more further into the document than fuckin page 60 cuz that’s where I threw in the towel lol.
Some of the companies involved that are mentioned in the article:
- Service providers (Comcast, Charter, Cox)

- Home security (ADT)

Nah, it’s at least two clicks - the first in the cookie banner to decline all cookies and tracking (which won’t save that setting and ask again on every page load/click on the page as you might want to be tracked in two minutes) and another one to cancel.
The only way to save that setting would be with a cookie, so it appears to be working
the first in the cookie banner to decline all cookies and tracking
that’s rarely a single click
Wonder when they’re gonna do that for Adobe products in Europe. Has to be one of the most scummiest subscription services present day. If you cancel too early you have to pay up a “cancellation” fee for remaining time of the month, or sometimes even more I believe. If you do it too late you’ll have to pay for a whole new subscription, and pay for the cancellation fee. I don’t even know why they’re allowed to pull that shit on consumers.
Companies fight back to make subscription services easy to cancel
Maybe I’m misreading, but that seems backwards in the title. Companies are fighting to make subscriptions harder to cancel.
