The actual win isn't the fine, it's > and cease unlawful enrollment and cancellation practices for Prime. which thank god, Amazon deserves to be in the hall of fame for their multiple beg screens.

Which because they have gotten away with it for so long, everyone else has been copying (or well I guess this has been going on for decades in various forms) them. Ex, netflix, which has decided to pop up a 'we noticed there are people who don't live with you using your account, click here to pay us another $9/month' every time it starts on my TV, presumably because my underage child, who legally lives with me, uses it on her phone when she is away at school for 5 months a year. And then when someone clicked the default pay us button, I was unable to figure out how to remove the charge without actually calling and telling them I was canceling after 20+ years. (the whole extra member thing wasn't showing up in the web ui, no idea why, maybe its because of the TV clicking process).

Huh, I was wondering why cancelling after a free trial recently was easier than the last time I cancelled a few years ago.

It is two screens, three clicks - not hard at all. https://www.amazon.com/mm/pipeline/cancellation https://www.amazon.com/mm/pipeline/cancellation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddxPcnMG0fE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddxPcnMG0fE

  I'm honestly confused, cancelling prime doesn't seem hard lol, its the typical "are you sure" shit every site has

    > its the typical "are you sure" shit every site has Saying "everyone does it" doesn't make it legal or right. Going after Amazon and winning a ruling against is a good first step in eliminating these exploitive practices everywhere.

  That’s double the amount of screens and triple the amount of clicks it should take. I subscribe to as many things as I can through Apple because I can instantly unsubscribe without companies wasting my time.

  It should be one click.

    It’s one click buy and three click “unbuy”. Strange that the latter hasn’t yet been patented - perhaps the click count isn’t done yet.
