  WTF is it with subscription companies that make it impossible to cancel something online (even though signing up online is MORE than easy), and then when you engage with their support ppl to cancel, and they confirm cancellation... the charge and the package is STILL sent to you??!! (This is a meal subscription.)

  Okay late to the game but @acleverusername I had such a hard time cancelling two online workout subscriptions, like you have to call to cancel but only during the full moon for a six minute window in a different time zone etc so I had to SUBSCRIBE to ANOTHER thing (TruBill) so they would cancel the other things for me. They did however I now I have to figure how to cancel THAT subscription and somehow I’m not thinking they will make it easy 😂

  @mamafox14 good luck with TruBill. I think I might need to get that to cancel my YouTube subscription. I've attempted twice, spending at least 30 min each time, but no luck.
