@Nickiquote Their advertisers probably pay plenty and likely subscription renewal is much more.
@wendinoakland @Nickiquote Exactly that.
You subscribe. But it's only $1.
And then you either forget to cancel in time, or get lost in the dark patterns they've put up around their cancellation process and give up.
Or, best of all for them, you just forget about it and don't check your bank statements regularly.
Then it automatically renews, and you pay the next month's subscription out of your account.
Ideally for them, it's many months before you notice. By then, you've been paying the automatically renewing subscription for months or years.
Just another example of the #enshittification of everything. -
