I know you want to act like this is nefarious but it is, in fact just a bug.

I was able to cancel just fine just now. Nothing about the process was that bad. No worse than Netflix at least.

I'm willing to bet that this is due to some browser extension on the user's side messing with CORS headers. But too late, the outrage mob has already assembled.

I wouldn't be so sure, that its a user side issue since CORS is handled on the backend. That is in your server config, explicitly allowing https://secure.hulu.com to access https://www.hulu.com as an example.

That said its likely a bug and nothing nefarious. Not to diminish that this is a really severe issue that you should raise to customer support, who likely has ways of cancelling for you.

Same I cancelled a few weeks ago without issue.
