Why not send a message reminding them of the service, and giving an easy one-click way of cancelling? You could include some info on how they can use your service as well of course.

Imagine someone walked by your house every month and dropped a $5 bill on your lawn. The 1st of every month ... there it was.

Would you put up a sign reminding them to stop stop dropping $5 bills?

No, which is why I think the government should force companies remind people they took out subscriptions, and make it easy to cancel them.

Talking about Netflix specifically: if I don't log in and watch something for a week they will start spamming me with emails like: "Here's a show we think you'd like", "Continue watching show X", "New season of show Y is coming to Netflix next Tuesday".

They really seem hell-bent of making me watch something, just in case I was considering cancelling my subscription.
