Apropos of nothing, I hate short term promotional pricing. On that page, you can't tell how much it costs after the promotional period ends.

- Karunamon 12y agoIt's always seemed like a dark pattern to me, since 99/100 times it's combined with automatic renewal. Meaning you'll sign up for a few weeks/months at a decent price and suddenly find yourself with a multi-hundred-percent increase in cost out of nowhere. Hard to imagine they're not relying on that.

You can't—canceling requires a phone call with a lengthy wait on hold and a customer-retention sales pitch before they'll let you off the hook. Sometimes I think about subscribing again, but thinking about that wasted 15 minutes of my life is enough to make me forget about it.
