For two years now, 24 consecutive months, I have been stupid enough to give this garbage company my money. Today I went through all of my subscriptions and decided to finally cancel my Photo-plan with Adobe which costs me $12 a month. They recently just increased their pricing.

I was aware of the fact that you can’t cancel your subscription early without being met with a cancellation fee (I was made aware of this after I first started subscribing, of course) though it’s already been two years. But apparently, this 12 month subscription is renewed automatically, and unless you by some miracle decide to cancel within the 2 week period after said 12 month subscription is renewed, you’ll be met with a fee. In my case, 66 goddamn dollars. Or that’s what you would think, at least.

The insane part is, I started subscribing the 9th of August in 2022. I would ASSUME it would be renewed the 9th of August every year. I am billed on the 9th every month, after all. It’s currently August 14th, and 2 weeks have not passed since the presumed renewal date. YET I’M STILL MET WITH A CANCELLATION FEE. Exactly WHEN can I cancel this garbage without being charged and exorbitant fee if not now?!

This is predatory, should be illegal, and I sure as hell hope they get sued to oblivion for this.

It is these sort of practices that lead people to piracy, and I will never in a million years ever give this garbage company another cent of my money. I hope hell has reserved an especially gruesome spot for the executive fucks who came up with the idea of having a cancellation fee for a monthly billed subscription model.
