If a subscription is harder to cancel than it is to sign up, that's anti-consumer. It's not really anything to do with anyone's intelligence.
No, it absolutely does have something to do with people's intelligence. Because if you can't seem to follow the prompts there to cancel? Yeah, you're kind of dumb.
It's different than in Amazon's case where sometimes they'll flip the buttons on you, tricking you to resume. That kind of thing is anti-consumer.
A lot of people are dumb. Half the world's population has a below average intelligence.
Why should we allow companies to victimize dumb people? Why is that ok to you?
Why are you pulling strawmen out of your ass?
I fail to see how it's a strawman. Either you're ok with companies taking advantage of people because they're not very intelligent or you're not.
