Oh look, a list of shitty companies everyone should avoid.
How nice of them to make it for us.
Without even looking at the list I know Amazon, Disney and Netflix will be on it.
They know exactly how much they take every month from account that barely use them and they'd like to keep it.
I think they should go one further with the rule. Anybody not using the service for a month gets to have it cancelled automatically, and only resumed when they use it again.
For as awful as Amazon is, I'll give them this one.
Cancelling prime is shockingly easy compared to what most places drag you through: account settings, prime, cancel, yes I'm sure, done.
Requiring that from everyone would be a huge step forward. Also let's make sure it forces gyms to do it, too.
I'm not ready to give Amazon any credit here. They use a lot of scummy dark patterns like swapping accept/deny buttons and making accept super easy and friendly to click while decline is small plain text.
