Related, yesterday I tried to cancel my Kindle Unlimited trial. I found the page easily enough, but when I clicked cancel, I received an "400 Oops!" page. Then attempting to visit the original page at all resulted in "400 Oops!" I waited for some time to pass and was still unable to cancel. I nearly forgot about it, but a few hours later, I tried again and it succeeded.
Now, I know it's slightly paranoid to assume that it wasn't just a bug preventing me from canceling, but at the scale Amazon operates at, and the SLAs they shoot for, what are the odds that it would occur at the moment I try to cancel? To the conspiracy theorist side of me, it felt like a dark pattern.
In my mind, the lengths that Amazon would go to to prevent Prime cancellations adds more suspicion about my Kindle Unlimited cancellation experience.
- wccrawford 5y agoI recently canceled my Kindle Unlimited subscription as well, and experienced no issues other than the "dark patterns" already outlined in other posts here. I know it's a massive coincidence that that happened to you, but I really do think it was just a coincidence. If it happened too often, people would be screaming about it on social media in no time.
