It froze and forced me to reload the page four times.
10/10.
I was frustrated by how buggy and unresponsive this was.
Tap for spoiler
Then at the end it told me that it froze on me 4 times for the lulz. 10/10 top troll.
Oh, that is painfully accurate for some sites...
Also LOL at Dennis saying he can't see the survey because apparently it goes to another team, but then says that he knows I took the option that I'll miss him on business days.
Or the help centre question about cancellation sending you to the help centre
It crashes from time to time, then I have to reload the page. Firefox Android user.
I cancelled a subscription. It took a while. https://www.fundrstudio.com/games/cancel-your-subscription/#c=511-5-3
Happened to me too, had to reload a couple of times. Not sure if it was intentional, but realistic anyhow xD The only thing missing is random loading times between each step.
And a giant one click resubscribe button at the very end
Same but I think it's intentional as it says we have saved your progress and time at the top, after refreshing
Might be popup blocker in the browser? I saw something flash, a quick popup right before it "crashed" on my end.

Brings me flashbacks to trying to cancel a telecom subscription in France.
They have services there that will take 15eur or so to do it for you, and yep... it's worth it.
Still in the EU, I used a service to switch electric companies. All the telcos offer to cancel your old contract, but then they fight each other and you’re always the loser. It’s unreal.
Not my experience at all. There are well defined processes, you pay 2 bucks to send a letter with delivery guarantees and its done. Yeah, that's old school and not online, but it works, comes with legal guarantees and has always been absolutely hassle free for me.
That being said, not all EU countries are the same.
You know, I think my mistake might be doing this in person. People can “yes, yes” you all they want, but, like you said, registered mail is legally hardcore.
You should always assume you're getting screwed over without a paper trail, plenty of reasons why that would happen, plain greed not being the last of them.
I got stuck trying to tick the box. I had to click and drag to "highlight" the box, instead of just clicking.
That happened for me too. The whole page froze every minute or so and I had to refresh. I'm not sure if that was part of the game or not...
Same. I had to refresh most pages to get them to respond after freezing.
I got it in 6:05. Nice game.
That was infuriating but entertaining

Thanks I hate it
Legitimately aggravating. Well done.
This was hysterical. Thanks <3
I don't get it the link just takes me to my Amazon account page /s
faster than you :)
Ugh, it was painful! Well done!
I thought the site being unresponsive was a feature, not an actual bug. Don't let that hear those who offers subscription based plans! Anyway, I was annoyed after the second obstacle. Well done simulation.
That was fun! And a reminder that laws, not the market fix stuff like that. smiles in European
I pride myself in the fact that it’s easier to cancel a subscription on my email service than it is to subscribe. From the home page, it’s four clicks.
My Firefox-Setup had me modify the Scripts on the first hurdle to make the checkbox clickable. The next hurdle made me sift through js scripts, until i read the comment that said ublock origin messes with this lol
How come clicking doesn't do anything? Or is that the point? Just to see how long (or how many clicks) it takes before you realize that nothing is interactive and you're just looking at a static image?
As others have mentioned, adblockers seem to break it somehow. It's probably not intentional. The page doesn't serve any (actual) ads, so it's safe to try disabling your ad blocker. For me, refreshing the page a couple of times also fixed the issue even with uBO enabled.

I finally found section 6.5 of the Terms
6.5We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Section, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, or unless the information is the name of your first pet, which, if provided, we retain indefinitely for sentimental reasons.
That was a good chuckle. 
The site doesn’t serve actual ads
…yet
I had an Ultimate Guitar Pro membership run on for two years while I wasn’t using it thanks to dark pattern crap. Needless to say I would feel much less compunction about acquiring the pro tabs by other means after that experience.

but let your card expire and look how they hound you to update your CC info with them..
There appear to be some bugs here. It keeps hiding window controls which is a problem because half the correct buttons didn't work without a page referesh for me.
It fun and sad at the same time ..
