I do wonder though if we’ll see changes made to the cancellation policies. I’ve certainly been expecting a change there for years.

What kind of changes to the cancellation policies are you imagining?

[–] Ichebi 4 points 1 year ago

That you can't cancel each month? Like a six or twelve month minimum?

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Well, rather the subscriptions. IE, no monthly subscriptions but 6-monthly or 12-monthly. Or cancellation fees.

No idea if my expectation is valid, but it intuitively seems to me like an obvious way to grab some cash.
