Company subscription tactics are so scummy
Many companies push their subscription services hoping you're not reading what you're accepting and hoping you don't realise when money goes out of your account.
My mother had been paying for not one, but two eDream prime subscriptions on one account £79.99 each, every year for multiple years. My mother is 60 yo, she isn't good with tech. I know she must've accidentally activated an eDreams subscription while booking airplane tickets years ago and has kept them not realising they were a thing. I've recently taken over her finances to support her and have noticed the subscription after being charged today. Speaking to the eDreams support team they say they can not refund renewals and that the last time my mother used an eDream booking was in 2022, 4 years ago and was a booking made through an airline. Not only have they been charging her for years for a service she hasn't used, they had two subscriptions active on her one account and the other one was going to be renewed two days later.
Even on Amazon I've had multiple random subscriptions activated like Amazon Luna or Prime video subscriptions starting with a free trial and charged few days later just from misclicks. Luckily Amazon unlike Scummy eDreams will refund subscriptions when they're just renewed and not used.
I feel sorry for the people that have had parasitic companies draining their finances without their realisation. Imo it should be illegal for companies to have subscriptions active when the consumers don't use them at all for a few months let alone a year or more.
