It’s weird that we as a society don’t hold major corporations to a higher standard than this. So many unprincipled practices designed to inflate numbers.
The only way to make the world a better place is to gut the government agencies that hold businesses back from their true potential!
… /s?
I figured the context provided that. 🙂
Ha, the internet has completely ruined my sarcasm detector. For every completely unhinged satirical opinion there’s somebody out there who will express it with complete sincerity, and it can be impossible to tell. That’s Poe’s Law for you…
I’ve had the luxury of only seeing what hasn’t been removed by mods here, and I’ve reset my baseline for Beehaw comments accordingly. I can hit people over the head with satire if need be, but it’s neither as effective nor fun as being subtle.
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’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.
Is it the same in Europe ? I feel like with the different regulations, they might also get sued there.
I’m not on Europe, I’m in South america, but if I wanted to cancel prime, the only thing I need to do is to go to subscription on the settings and click a button, that’s it. So this could be a US only nightmare.
I just cancelled mine and noticed that on the app it’s really easy to find, but when you click on it it gives you an error without an explanation. Then when you open Amazon in a browser (where you can cancel without the error) it’s much harder to find. Definitely deliberate.
I liked Louis Rossman’s take on the FTC’s actions. https://youtu.be/9_uMnVjxsHY
