Amazon prime video is so shady. Even if we have subscribed, most of the content inside is supposed to be rented again or have to subscribe another service again.
Went to US recently and signed up for free trial of Walmart premium service. No way to cancel it on website, app, everywhere. Ultimately had to open it on desktop mode and find a small cancel option.
We need 'Click to cancel' laws in India too. Basically it says, that a company must make cancelling a subscription as easy it was to sign up for it. Say if you want a music membership. You click its button, it asks you for your payment details, and then you are subscribed. They can't make it require 3 clicks to cancel it then. If you want to make it hard to leave, make it hard to join too
Then how will company survive more! initially intention of most of the companies to make profit and get ours attention so they make an addictive products so we can't be excaped. For a while let's us assume if laws has made then most of companies will not survive anymore they will died in few years due to mass loses. Indeed it is beneficial for commons person to save their money.
i used netflix and then instantly cancelled membership cause i dont have time in a month to watch and see all that content. so i gonna sail on this vast sea.
I like to watch on ott because it makes things easier and usually it loads much faster... Also there are many ancient movies whoes torrent have expired so it comes handy...i sail high seas too bt only when I'm in need.. Other than that I buy it with my friends so it's becomes affordable
For a long time I felt guilty of doing it - thought when I start earning, I will buy these things... They invented subscriptions by that time...! They asked for it...!!!
Pirated stuff have no quality. Or you just need to be content with the substandard quality they vomit into the websites. No. I'm not content with 1080p, especially when it takes double digit GBs to download it.
Canceling audible is still okay, but have you ever tried canceling Adobe software subscriptions? They charge a cancellation fee worth 50% of the remaining amount. For instance, if your subscription costs ₹1000 per month and you cancel it in the second month, you'll be charged 50% of the remaining 10 months, which amounts to ₹5000..!!

I simply cancel standing instructions in my banking app or website after signing up for a free trial which is much easier than the hassle of canceling the subscription.
Printer payment is cruel but not criminal yet. We know of a situation where metro trains come with Digital Rights Management software where if the train is serviced by a third party, the software blocks certain services. Imagine keeping your infrastructure on subscription for annual maintenance.
@icyhawt2854 To some extent, but imagine the highway company telling you that you only have to use the road to get into a city, you can't use Train, metro, flights, waterways or even walk. For Highways, we can assume to be part ownership for that specific time and exit when ever you want to within stipulated time.
Hold on. I bought a canon printer. Everything was going well when suddenly it stopped printing in about 2 years. Took it to service center. They said, there is a chip inside which would count about 4000 sheets and KILL the machine ( I am sure I might have used about 1500 pages of print). Yes it killed mine. No software reset, Can't replace the chip. Ended up was electronic waste. Here it is not even the question of using company cartridge. Printer as born with built in death date
08:31 These dark patterns are the most irritating thing. What an interesting thought: "Do you really own it, or does subscription own you?" As always, best work team!
I myself have like 6 subscriptions but the most important thing is that I am aware of my subscriptions. Most people just do autopay and just do not check their Bank or Credit Card statement and pay the bill.
I had an Amazon Prime Membership which also includes Prime Video, But its asking me to pay extra for movies to rent them, like why? is this subscription under subscription? I don't even know where the worlds going now 😐
0:24 The examples that he gave of a traditional subscription business isn't really a subscription but just purchases that were so inexpensive and were made so frequently that the seller used to give us credit to pay everything later or we used to pay for everything in advance.
While some may perceive subscription-based models as overly commercial, it's important to recognize the resources and effort required to create, maintain, and improve modern applications and services. These models are not only ethical but often necessary to sustain high-quality offerings. Recurring revenue models allow businesses to allocate consistent resources toward product development, customer support, and security enhancements. Customers are not forced into plans without their consent. Most providers offer clear terms, options to cancel, and proactive reminders before trial periods end to ensure transparency and fairness. Far from being unethical, these models are a balanced way to ensure customers receive continuous value while businesses sustain the operations required to deliver that value.
NO matter what the topic is, this guy, the narrator, am so sorry I dont know your name sir, you are too good with the narration and the storytelling!! The non interested topic also becomes interesting coz of the way you explain it! Good work !
Something worth watching I had similar thoughts on subscription, wherein more and more as we develop new things, they are being moved to subscription model and if you are allowed to own it, they simply won't last that long.
Chanced upon this Channel. Knew EVERYTHING but Still, an AMAZING summation of the Dark World of Subscriptions. You have earned my "Subscription" to your channel😅.
I brought a hyundai i20 nline in 2021, and bluelink subscription came with it, the car has a mic button to give voice commands to open sunroof , windows and other things . After 3 years , the bluelink subscription ended, but the funny part is, the voice command features are gone as well, meaning i cannot use a physical button present in the car and have to subscribe to bluelink to use it..
Hey man great to see the whole disclosure you have done to make it clear to people are trapped in. Awesome explanation, and way of talking nice work man as an editor i only use subscription for the things i used for work for others things no. Thanks man for this looking for ward for more these knowledge bundle videos to clear out the mind and take active decision.
Only subscription i love to use is RUclips. Ad free experience. RUclips music has vast music library. Algorithm is pretty awesome for recommendations. I think pretty worth it.
I didn't need to cancel any because I was very picky about the subscriptions. I have YT Premium, Sony LIV, Hotstar and JioCinema and these will go on for sure because my only connection with TV is through the football. I dont have a DTH or cable subscription, no Netflix or any other stuff which I don't wanna use
If I want to try a product and they they ask for credit card of if I wish to subscribe for only a short duration for like a month, the first thing I would do after starting the subscription is to cancel the subscription right away. Also 1 Good think about Indian mandates is that you get notified 1 day before through sms about money gonna get deducted from credit card (not International), so you do get option to cancel. Only time i forgot was my digital ocean droplet that I forgot to stop for to no notification... Ended up paying few thousand that month
There's a subscription for music, a subscription for studies, a subscription for youtube, a subscription for social media, a subscription for audiobooks, a subscription for online articles, a subscription for Netflix, a subscription for health analytics, a subscription for ms-office, a subscription for learning a new skill, a subscription for antivirus, a subscription for video games, a subscription for e-shopping, a subscription for credit card, a subscription for live tournament coverage, a thousand combination of subscription for daily tv channels and probably few more subscriptions that I have missed. First I used to think I should subscribe to support companies who are doing good work but I now i feel these people just don't care. And anybody who needs help is someone like me who is just fed up with subscriptions. AND THAT'S WHY I SUPPORT PIRACY.
Channel subscribed! 🤣 Very good presentation I had the same issue with Amazon return services, why is it so bloody hard to talk to someone who manages returns and exchanges
People has to spend money every month so that others get their salary. It works like a circle. Once you stop spending, no matter where you work, your industry will also get affected because everything is connected. Your money flows back to you. And subscriptions ensures that this cash flow will continue without fail.
I have 1 question about spotify If you are not allowing us to rewind the song , add songs in queue , skip to our favorite portion in any song and I'm sure after sometime we won't be able to listen songs of our choice Then why are you not charging us while downloading the freaking app Why is it free on playstore and appstore
It has and you can revoke the app from charging you, there is a option named UPI Auto-pay/Automatic Payment in multiple apps including GPay and Paytm, I often use these features by putting up a reminder before trial period ends, it's really useful.
Bro I have remainders regarding my all subscriptions and I review these whenever I get remainders 1 day before payment whether I want to continue with this service or not. I generally cancel those subscriptions which I don’t have to use. U CAN ALSO DO IT
I am recently using a chromebook, giuess what I can play youtube and ytmusic in background without any subscription, dont know how maybe so they can boost the sale of the chromebook, badly want to quit yt service but stuck in the loop
Jio irritating by 2 minutes audio reminder before every call gets connected is the darkest of patterns. Same with any wifi connection. You can’t cancel wifi connection. It’s too tough to exit wifi connection.
Also most of these companies only offer monthly subscription plans such that they can hike whenever and whatever they want.. recently utube premium family plan hiked straight from 189 to 299 😢
What I really hate is how companies make it very difficult to cancel subscriptions. Subscribing is one click but to cancel you have to click all these buttons and find cancel subscription in some corner not easily discoverable. I really like autopay. I usually cancel immediately after subscribing for a month so I don’t forget and get charged again.
Hey, could you also make a video on differential charges of subscription and in-app product prices? I mean if you buy a S24 Ultra or an iPhone, the prices of potato/onion etc on Zepto are different/higher than those on low cost phones. Additionally, the subscription charges of RUclips, Zee5 etc are more when you pay via Apple ID vs paying via browsers. Please throw some light on this. This pattern is something i have seen myself on different devices
@ try it. You will see. Apple Youtbe subscription is 199 and standard youtube premium through android or browser is 149. For Zepto, i saw around 8-20 rupees differential across vegetable prices in iPhone 15 vs Redmi 4
What do you guys think about tecpac in EVs ? The features are already there but you have to pay to unlock. I understand in some EV there is a sim and you need to have subscription which they take annually anyways. For me to pay for tecpac to unlock the features already in the vehicle is a scam
Worst are broadband providers. I had to literally threaten customer care that I am recording this call and will take them to court. This after half hour call to just request closing of my account.
Banks have also made difficult to cancel standing instruction. They ask for seperate credentials noteven showtheexisting subscriptions or details of them. this should also be considered by rbi
That's exactly why i didn't subscribe for Spotify even though it's only Rs 60 for 3 months. I grew up watching TV with so many ads, why can't I watch it for few mins now
Why does Zerodha charge Quarterly maintenance cost when they are already charging brokerage for trades? The account becomes dormant when the charge is not paid!
And that's why many people put on their pirate hats and sail the seas... If you know you know
