....You cannot be serious

The only stuff I’ve ever had trouble cancelling were newspaper subscriptions. Definitely support making that easier.

I can’t read the article due to the paywall. Precisely how easy and instant is the cancellation process required to be under this proposal: a button that says cancel, you click it, and you are cancelled?

I suspect that would surprise a lot of people and make them frustrated. Cancelling shouldn’t be easier to do accidentally than signup.

So i should be require to entire my payment information and verify an email to cancel a service? Are you mad? I click the red cancel button, it says "Are you sure" and boom I'm cancelled. That's how everyone else on the planet wants it.

I’ve never had to do that for a subscription service.

Simple cancellation is a good idea. Banning complicated cancellation is a good idea.

I’m just wary of too minutely regulation how cancellation happens. It is possible to make it too seamless.

I'm gonna let you have the last word here.
