I didn't forget, but the #DetroitFreePress continued to charge me. On the phone they admitted that cancellations requested through their website are often not processed. #Visa said they would not reverse the charges without proof of cancellation. So I called and canceled -- again! -- and requested an email confirmation. #DetroitFreePress refused to send a confirmation. The only way to stop the charges was to cancel my debit card account. Which I did. Capitalism, eh? 🙄 https://www.npr.org/2023/08/30/1196059950/streaming-monthly-subscriptions-cancel-peacock

  From streaming TV to razor blades by mail, Americans are buying more goods and services through pay-by-the-month plans. New research shows they often keep paying long after they want to.
