Amazon's attempts to get users to unwittingly sign up to Prime is one of the most egregious examples I encounter on a regular basis. As a European I cannot wait to see it gone.
- pessimizer 4y agoI feel like I remember it being pretty easy to cancel Prime, though. Have things changed?
- bcrosby95 4y agoIf it's easy to accidentally sign up for something, does that mean it has to be easy to accidentally cancel something? Because that would be hilarious.
- haswell 4y agoI’m imagining a scenario where you’re about to check out, and decide not to finish the transaction because you wanted to add something else to your very first. So you click the cancel button. Only you find out you’ve cancelled Prime.
- psyc 4y agoAfter the last iOS update, Apple nagged the shit out of me to setup Apple Pay, for two days. No way to say ‘fuck off’ - only ‘remind me’. No obvious way to stop the nagging. Finally I gave them just the tip, and then pulled out before the money shot, and that seems to have shut them up for now.
- cyral 4y agoApple Pay is legitimately useful though. You can use it to pay at physical businesses if you forget your wallet (double click and face ID to turn your phone into a "tap to pay" card basically). There are also lots of apps/sites that support it so you don't have to type in your card number or even your shipping info sometimes.
- CydeWeys 4y agoThat you think it's useful isn't relevant; he doesn't wanna use it and yet nevertheless has continuously been nagged about it. That's not a good experience. Fwiw I don't use Apple Pay either. There's a lot of things I don't use, for various reasons, and "you should just give in and use it" isn't the right response.
- perryizgr8 4y agoAmazon prime is also very useful. I would say it's more useful for more people than Apple pay. But that doesn't excuse the bad behaviour.
- HWR_14 4y agoI have no idea what you're talking about. Apple asked me about Apple Pay a long time ago, I decided I didn't want it and I've never been bugged again.
- wrboyce 4y agoHow is that even relevant? Your phone was trying to onboard you to a _free to use_ feature. If you can’t see the difference here, then I suspect there probably was a button labelled “fuck off” and you didn’t see that either. Honestly.
