Okay I've done the free discord nitro a couple of times and i gotta say... It was surprisingly easy to cancel. Billing and subscriptions tab in discord ---> nitro subscription cancel service button. Thats it. It's hardly as bad as the rest of them, and so it is a little surprising seeing them go to court over it.
Friendly reminder you can cancel your trial version / free month if you have activated one recently, and you'll keep the perks until your trial runs out.
Glad they are going for this, although it seems a bit weird that they aren't going for bigger players that have similar or worse tactics.
I never saw a reason to give my not-do-hard-earned money to discord, but I have done so elsewhere online, and I will continue to do so.
My approach is always the same: I use this one card I have that is by default blocking online purchases. But I can through my bank app allow online purchases for the next hour. Works great for those "free" trials that require your card details, hoping you'll forget to subscribe.
Can they sue crunch fitness next?
Huh? Every trial I have had, it's been like two button presses to cancel.
For as far reaching the negatives are for Apple’s policies on in app purchases, this is one spot where they are advantageous.
It’s easy to cancel Nitro if you use in app purchases on iOS/iPadOS.
Are these users spending their off time sampling lead paint chips? It took me less than 5 minutes to cancel my subscription when I decided I needed to save money last month.
Reminder for everybody to never install Discord. It functions as a desktop web app, and you can even use it like so on your phone. You shouldn't even give Discord your phone number, tbh, and you should never pay them money.
I keep trying to remove my phone number from my Discord account, but each time I do "suspicious activity" is found on my account and needs my phone number to verify.
Let them try cancelling Amazon Prime:)
