    I won’t accept any free trial that needs my card info. Especially as someone who suffers from ADHD; I’ll never remember to cancel before the trial runs out.

    Heck, I hate it when the free version of a program forces a trial membership that gives you access to advanced (paid) settings, then guts all your settings when the trial runs out. You’re not gonna trick me into spending money to get the advanced settings back! I downloaded the free version for a reason!

      Yeah, they’re counting on that for their whole business model. It’s intentionally predatory.

      Sometimes, you can cancel it immediately after signing up and still maintain the free trial without being charged. Sometimes.

      I still would rather not give them my info. Amazon fucked it up for everyone with how they would continue to try and charge me multiple times after cancelling service (which was already fucking super difficult to do).
