US sues Adobe for “deceiving” subscriptions that are too hard to cancel

There needs to be a law that cancelling a subscription should be available through the same channels as subscribing and take approximately the same or less effort on the part of the customer. It seems like such a law would just be common sense unless I'm missing something.

The answer is lobbying, corrupt assholes and loads of $$$
Also, this is a law in countries that aren't getting fucked so much by their government

Not shitting on journalism but some news outlets pull that shit too. “Click here to subscribe!” And “sorry, you will have to call us during business hours to speak to an agent about canceling your subscription”

Gyms are the worst for it, a friend of mine was recently told they had to come in person to cancel—they were planning to move to a different part of the country, so then had to make a pointless trip to the gym instead of spending that time packing.

We have that in California, it’s great! I haven’t had to navigate a stupid phone cancellation tree in years.

That's very cool to hear
I hope Adobe feels the long arm of the DOJ

It is always morally correct to pirate Adobe products. (Or anything that runs on a subscription model, for that matter.)

Adobe is such an awful company, it is clear they want to train AI off people's work next.

Now do Planet Fitness….

Can we sue them also for making Acrobat too hard to use? I swear that app gets slower with each update.

PDF X-Change editor, WunderShare PDFElement (although their license is a bit annoying), and other can easily replace Adobe for editing PDFs. Probably are some open source options as well.
SumatraPDF for viewing. As others had mentioned, Preview.app on Mac has always been pretty robust.

Seal the doors and light the match.

Prepare for the sub cost to go up (again) to cover the cost.

Adobe is fucked.
