FTC: Amazon tricked users into signing up for Prime and made it too hard to cancel it

I ran into this when I tried to cancel my subscription to Kindle Unlimited. It took 15 minutes of intensive searching before I sussed out the combination of links to remove myself.

I keep seeing that “$0.00” and it’s tempting but I’m so glad I haven’t clicked on it. I do subscribe to Prime yet I find I’m not using it for the main purpose at the time I started, the streaming content.

@VeronicaConnor

Now do the same for every other online business, virtually all of which are constantly using dirty tricks to fool you into signing up for rent.

I like the idea of a “Digital Marketing No Means No Act of 2023” (purloining from my deleted comment: especially youtube “free trial subscription” popup)
