i miss the days when cancelling a subscription would just stop it charging you but you keep the service until you would have to pay

    Who would have thought that cancelling something cancels it? Incredible find, mate.

      the idea was to sign up for the free trial, then cancel right away so that you don’t forget to cancel at the end of the trial. previously, in most cases, the trial would run it’s course and you could access it for the duration. Since companies rely on people forgetting to cancel (it’s the only reason anyone even has an apple TV subcription), they’re trying to make this simple life hack more difficult.
