Yes, it's unethical but it's a common business revenue model that many companies employ. Some companies will give a free x months of service with the hope that people will forget to cancel. That's why most companies that do this will require a credit card to sign-up.
Unethical does not always mean illegal so many people will just do it and hope the consequences are small.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoThat's completely different. Requiring a credit card to sign up for a "free" service and they starting to bill the card after x months without warning or reminder is both scammy and scummy. But after I've decided to pay for a service, it's not up to you to decide that I need to be reminded to use the service. I'm an adult, I can take care of that all on my own, thank you.
