Lucky you who was able to get through the dark patterns in the unsubscribe page. I got one extra charge because the first time I tried, I fell for one of their dark patterns and believed it was canceled while it wasn't.

Oh yeah. The unsubscribe page is a minefield of dark patterns, with innocent links leading to continuing the membership. I was pissed enough by then to pay extra attention to get rid of it.
