did i say mildly infuriating? i meant rage inducing. companies that don’t let you cancel recurring billing at the end of the trial who hurt you? stop making me remember to go in at the 28th day to cancel…

yes, it is adobe. shocker.

    I use virtual credit cards from privacy.com. for trials I set a $1 limit and forget about it. It’s pretty useful for legitimate subscriptions too, since I can pause or end them just by pausing the card.

    Well, the point of this is a lot of suckers forget about cancelling and it makes Adobe a lot of money.

    I don’t know where, but I read that subscription services make a lot of money from people that are paying for it but not using it, or barely using it. I guess the “free trial” is the tasty carrot dangling at the end of the stick to attract new “customers” to this fair and honorable practice of “product as a service”.
