    Also LOL at Dennis saying he can't see the survey because apparently it goes to another team, but then says that he knows I took the option that I'll miss him on business days.

    It froze and forced me to reload the page four times.

    10/10.

    It crashes from time to time, then I have to reload the page. Firefox Android user.

    I cancelled a subscription. It took a while. https://www.fundrstudio.com/games/cancel-your-subscription/#c=511-5-3

    I got stuck trying to tick the box. I had to click and drag to "highlight" the box, instead of just clicking.

    Brings me flashbacks to trying to cancel a telecom subscription in France.

    They have services there that will take 15eur or so to do it for you, and yep... it's worth it.

    Still in the EU, I used a service to switch electric companies. All the telcos offer to cancel your old contract, but then they fight each other and you’re always the loser. It’s unreal.

    Not my experience at all. There are well defined processes, you pay 2 bucks to send a letter with delivery guarantees and its done. Yeah, that's old school and not online, but it works, comes with legal guarantees and has always been absolutely hassle free for me.

    That being said, not all EU countries are the same.

    You know, I think my mistake might be doing this in person. People can “yes, yes” you all they want, but, like you said, registered mail is legally hardcore.

    Ugh, it was painful! Well done!

    I thought the site being unresponsive was a feature, not an actual bug. Don't let that hear those who offers subscription based plans! Anyway, I was annoyed after the second obstacle. Well done simulation.

    I pride myself in the fact that it’s easier to cancel a subscription on my email service than it is to subscribe. From the home page, it’s four clicks.

    I finally found section 6.5 of the Terms6.5We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Section, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, or unless the information is the name of your first pet, which, if provided, we retain indefinitely for sentimental reasons.

    My Firefox-Setup had me modify the Scripts on the first hurdle to make the checkbox clickable. The next hurdle made me sift through js scripts, until i read the comment that said ublock origin messes with this lol

    How come clicking doesn't do anything? Or is that the point? Just to see how long (or how many clicks) it takes before you realize that nothing is interactive and you're just looking at a static image?

    As others have mentioned, adblockers seem to break it somehow. It's probably not intentional. The page doesn't serve any (actual) ads, so it's safe to try disabling your ad blocker. For me, refreshing the page a couple of times also fixed the issue even with uBO enabled.

    I had an Ultimate Guitar Pro membership run on for two years while I wasn’t using it thanks to dark pattern crap. Needless to say I would feel much less compunction about acquiring the pro tabs by other means after that experience.

    There appear to be some bugs here. It keeps hiding window controls which is a problem because half the correct buttons didn't work without a page referesh for me.

    If you ever use your browser, Will, you had to cancel. “anything” then you’re too stupid for this term manner.

    I gave up because things weren't clickable. Sometimes refreshing the page fixed it, until it didn't.

    Good thing im not playing in real life
