Whether including video services like Netflix or HBO Go, product delivery services like Graze, audio services like Spotify, or software services like Adobe’s Creative Suite, you probably have at least a few subscriptions. It’s increasingly difficult to get by without them if you have any presence in the digital sphere. Now, the modern subscription model […]

Let’s face it. A good sales page can be amazingly good at convincing you that you must absolutely have this product/service and that your life will now be awesome. If you have a problem that the offered solution fixes, it can be very enticing to jab the keyboard and sign up. Alternatively, you may look […]

We’re used to subscriptions now. We get it. It’s tough to pay in full for a year’s worth of anything. Home insurance? Netflix? Forget it. I’m never going to have that sort of cash on me. But split it into 12, 24, or 52 smaller payments, and suddenly I can afford a lot more stuff […]

Subscriptions are here to stay. And although they give us the amazing ability to turn services on and off with ease, there are also some inherent things that are just downright annoying to most people. 1. Forgetting to cancel them!

I think it’s safe to say that we have reached a point in modern society, where our toolkits for living are moving online. Sure, you still need a hammer to bang in the nail, but you don’t need a rolodex to manage your contacts. You might need a flat head screwdriver for Ikea furniture, but […]

Because I forget all the things. Constantly. And maybe if there weren’t so many things to remember then I’d be okay. But this is the world with which we must cope. It’s gone beyond remembering your mother’s birthday and your wedding anniversary. And that was hard enough, right? I’m a classic for forgetting the due […]

Life is far easier when you can deal with everything using your mobile phone. It’s very cool that we can take care of everything so easily now. I am inherently lazy, so if I need to find a computer somewhere to do something that should only take 5 minutes, it ain’t gonna happen. I usually […]

It’s a simple request. I just want to cancel my subscription. I might not have much of a life, but I still don’t want to spend the rest of it rifling through virtual paper just to cancel a service. We know why it’s not simple. Vendors don’t want you to cancel. Cancelling is the opposite […]
