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.

Gym memberships should definitely be easier to cancel
