I unsubscribed ~7 years ago and was forced to call a person. It depends on where you live, I remember reading at the time that California residents could unsubscribe online, but everyone else was forced to call. They then forced you to convince a phone operator that you really wanted to cancel. They may have changed it due to changing legislation, or maybe you live in an area with better laws.

If you read one more sentence further:

> I've been told they have stopped this predatory practice due to some newly passed laws or something, but they did not stop their predation due to their own values.

Depends on the jurisdiction you are in.

No, it doesn't. I live in WA, with no such consumer protections, and it was a few clicks.

I’m in Wyoming. There is zero chance we have any consumer protection laws around this.
