How do you determine how easy it is to leave before you actually need to do it? Before even signing up?

How do you determine how easy it is to leave before you actually need to do it? Before even signing up?
- tedunangst 8y agoReading about the experiences of others. Or asking around.
- anonytrary 8y agoIt's sad that that's the only way at this point. Maybe sites will start bragging about how easy it is to leave if it becomes taboo enough to make it hard to leave (akin to "100% money back guarantee if you don't like it!"). Until then, someone's gotta be the first to try the poison.
- daveFNbuck 8y ago100% money back guarantee is also something that's usually gated behind a sufficiently annoying process that few people take advantage of it.
- zo1 8y agoPersonally, I would just assume they're all like that, to varying degrees. Everyone optimizes the "on-boarding" process that they completely neglect how to let customers get out.
- everybodyknows 8y agoNot true. I cancelled Netflix last month, no problem.
- objektif 8y agoHere at HN.
- r3bl 8y agoThis tool is highly useful: https://backgroundchecks.org/justdeleteme/ https://backgroundchecks.org/justdeleteme/ It ranks hundreds of websites from "easy" to "impossible".
- TheForumTroll 8y ago"Facebook: Medium" Bwahaha. Useless service.
- jammygit 8y agoCould gdpr endanger sites like this? Actually curious
- kuhhk 8y agoLooks like that is more about closing/deleting the entire account than cancelling a subscription. I'm more interested in cancelling my subscription than to delete my profile. Still a nice website, just not really something I'd find that useful. Thanks for sharing
- xibalba 8y agoInterestingly enough, HN is listed as "impossible".
- georgeott 8y agoI do a search for canceling that business, before I sign up. If I see a bunch of horror stories, then it's time to walk away.
