In one way, this is exactly the comment I came here to read. The article made my eyes glaze over it was so press-release-y and so I wanted to know what the actual plain language detail is. You delivered that, thank you.

However, in the specific case of Postmates, have they actually used this feature to screw people over? I get what you are saying in the case of a subscription like Netflix. But with Postmates, the user is making a concrete in-the-moment decision to spend money. This actually feels like a minor convenience in that the customer is hungry and can get the order in without having to fish out their credit card details again.
