I do not like the 'give us your charge card and we will bill you'. As it requires me to remember to cancel. I see subscriptions as more of a scam as companies expect people to forget. Or have a hard time canceling. I recall one company where you first had to go online and try to cancel to be given a phone number to dial. They tried to convince you to stay, then ask you a dozen questions about why. Finally they give you another number to call, customer care (LOL customer retention), who then makes all kinds of offers to get you to stay. Why would I intentionally sign up for that abuse? If a company really wants more subscribers? Make the effort to cancel near zero. Or even Zero. If a company AUTO cancel, when a person does not use the service for a month. Then at least the company would get my respect, but likely also my money, if the service is something I want.
