I unsubscribe by changing to a debit card with zero balance.

I think you can still be held liable for whatever they couldn't charge to your debit card if you do that. Preventing them from charging you doesn't mean you don't owe them money.

No they just canceled my subscription. I live in India though, so maybe banking regulations are different, you can't overdraw in India

Wouldn't this quickly become a costly affair?

Does this work, avoiding bank fees?

I haven't tried to cancel or anything but I pay with a card I created from privacy that has a $5 monthly limit. When the price jumps after the introductory period, it'll just decline.

You just stop paying for things you use?

No, it'll decline and alert me so I can go ahead and cancel the subscription. Then I might go subscribe to the LA Times or some other news source.
