omg what is up w that?

Wellcome to Europe

Thank goodness. I won’t do subscriptions because you can’t cancel. New York City is so lucky to have you as a mayor.

I can’t afford to sign up for anything so that helps. And all “entertainment” is really gaslighting me by failed males. Ellison is promoting some pretty creep shit on the soap operas these days. Women’s fiction is ruined.

Please give out “How to be a great mayor” courses❣️💪🏻💙

Yessssssssssssssssssssss

There is a company out there that works with other cos; ROKU and Google are 2 of them who both of them route you to to cx subscriptions. At NO point in the process does that co disclose any fees, 1x or subscription. It's SUBDELETE and it's a ripoff. F with the BBB and copious complaints about fees.

Was talking w/a MAGA that now doesn’t like Trump any longer but as she was leaving I asked her if she likes Mayor Mamdani & she said no bec his mom was in the Epstein files. I said w/about Trump being in the Epstein files w/pics & videos of him w/young girls & her reply, there’s no proof of that!

I hope this is just a bit, and I will be using it either way, but if you are dying I hope you are getting time and peace with your family.

👌🏼👍🏼✌🏼

I love Mayor Mamdani!

One thing I can agree with

@mayor.nyc.gov I absolutely love this - can you please get @realplanetfitness.bsky.social onboard?

New York Times I’m looking at you…

This should be the law everywhere

Great job on this!

I don't supposed you could go after Sony for their anti consumer shenanigans; planning on getting rid of discs, saying we don't own what we buy, taking anything digital we buy and not even refunding us.

Mr Mamdani would you please be my Mayor?

if you can even find the cancel button!

Oh fuck yes

This needs to be done universally.

Basic corporate accountability in action. If an algorithm can enroll you in two seconds with stored payment data, requiring endless phone queues or hidden web forms to cancel is deliberate manipulation. Government should actively protect working people from predatory design patterns. 👏⚖️

So the rest of the elected officials could be making our lives better and they just choose not to

An extremely effective condemnation of this corporate BS.

Brilliant & always in favor of 'The People'. A man for all seasons & all reasons.

This had me laughing 😆

Thank you! Now do this with Facebook too

We follow this plan: • No autopay unless it’s under $10. • No subscriptions. Canceling Prime, Hulu, and Netflix turned into nightmares. • Never give debit card payment method or bank details. No matter what deals they promise, it’s too hard to undo if the vendor is uncooperative.

Mr. Mayor, as a Canadian, I am a huge fan.

The "One-Click Signup" is a digital welcome mat; the "Cancel Subscription" process is a psychological gauntlet designed to make you feel like you're breaking up with a needy ex. Friction is the product.

Agree but sometimes they will not let you remove it without replacing it.

Lol

😂😄😆😂 and that should be illegal!

Audible!!! 😫

Right before the pandemic, when I had a great FT job, I signed up with Massage Envy. Told them I wouldn’t be using their services during C-19. Had to bring a note from my Dr stating I had Asthma and it could be deadly if I was exposed. They make it so difficult.

I tried so hard to get rid of Amazon Prime. I called my bank to see if they could stop the withdrawals, they couldn’t. The girl was so nice on the phone, at the bank. She told me exactly how to do it. She had the same problem. Thank you bank lady.

I've already had this problem with Microsoft, which is impossible to talk to anyone, impossible to cancel my subscription. I had to cancel my credit card and there they called me and I told them to go shit.

That's maddening. What usually works: email them asking for written confirmation it's cancelled plus a refund by a set date, then dispute with your card if they ignore it (US credit cards: generally 60 days from the statement). Screenshots of your cancel attempt help a lot.

Absolutely, I still havent been able to cancel my dead husbands PayPal account. 10 months later.

Thank you!

Lol. It's felt like that! 😂

let's make it nationwide please!

Great idea! So true.

When you're an actual human person so you can make funny relatable ads that actually feel natural and not like you're being forced to do the most unnatural thing you've ever done

The struggle is real. 😆

🤣🤣 The struggle is real

The war against Dark Patterns intensifies!

Your decision not to take part in the Colombus day parade, will cost you and the Democratic party dearly! 19 million Italian-American are not Happy!

Another big complaint is with getting a refund on canceled orders. The business takes your payment immediately but it takes 3 to 5 business days to refund it??

Adobe makes it very hard to cancel a product once you’ve signed up to use it. Three times I thought I’d cancelled this subscription. I think it’s finally stuck: I see a refund coming. But MAN. NO GOOD, ADOBE.

Love this.

Biden tried. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

The BEST!!!

He’s wonderful

I love this ‼️

What about the one you all made when you voted the single most obvious criminal *in history* into the White House, where do I cancel that?

John Oliver did a Last Week Tonight on canceling subscriptions. One company required a registering letter to cancel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wko-...

Didn't dumpy stop that?

While you’re at it, go after the retail sites where you go to buy one item and they try to upsell five to ten more items before you can finally check out.

0:28 11

This is a good point to make. If you call some you get a run around to cancel too. Personally it is aggravating as all heck.

Amazing! We need this everywhere!

Ever tried deleting your facebook account? Not disabling ; deleting. It’s a nightmare and even when you succeed in jumping through the hoops, they wait six months to finalize it. Absurd.

Excellent JIust curious how that conversation went with Der Führer about getting ICE out of your city?

Has there ever been a better mayor, backed by the most talented team (media and otherwise)?

SiriusXM

Man, it pisses me off it took me until I was almost 40 to see what an actual politician is. You are awesome Mayor Mamdani 🫡

Does that include any Muslims who want to cancel their subscriptions to Islam? DOES IT, COMRADE?

Please say this to New York Times. Their subscription was like a tick. Couple of years ago one have to phone them or email to cancel it

I love this! Yes, it was this hard to cancel my XM subscription. I was glad to see that Tish James had stepped in to sue them. THANK YOU!!!

😹

adobe is quaking

👍❤️

@mayor.nyc.gov , what's all this, eh? You keep going on like this, you are gonna drive away all the Biiiiig Money from NYC !! But screw 'em ! You keep doing your good work, Mr Mayor. We love you even if we don't live in your city!

👍

💙💙💙💙💙

Absolutely 💯% agree! Automatic renewal should not be allowed too!

VERY good idea.

They all do

The Daily Beast 🤯🤯🤯🤬🤬🤬

This is a really good idea

"Cancelling a subscription shouldn't be this hard. If you can sign up with a click, you must be able to cancel with one." You're goddamn right.

KHAAAAAAN winning again, you are so lucky NYC.

I hate to say this but PBS does this. You can’t email or submit anything written. You have to phone them Then they don’t actually cancel and you can’t get them to send you written confirmation when you call So after multiple calls I recorded the convo and told them I’d sue Disappointed, PBS

I agree.

Thank you! That's really helpful.

They all do, when you get asked 3 times arenyou sure, or they offer to lower the price each time, then you cancel and they still charge you it makes me fed up.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I would be so happy if my soon to be new governor would duplicate the cause. @philweiser.bsky.social

Great idea ... again coming from a GREAT leadership team! 😘🫡👍

very good even though it's AI

Just signed a petition moments ago from the Civic Shout popups on this very issue.

And require AI telemarketers to announce, “this is an AI call from,,,” not doing so is trickery.

Adobe should be litigated into the ground for this. The part of their site designated to cancelling your subscription has been "down for maintenance" for over a year.

Same with Google office. My daughter paid $8.50 per month for more than a year after she thought she cancelled it. Had to block on her credit card because couldn’t figure out how to cancel because she apparently originally signed up for it through Weebly. (Now Stripe). Can’t get anyone on phone.

Every single credit card makes you call to cancel.

Just a reminder that progress can sometimes take baby steps. Dems do good.

Cripes, I guess they did that relatively recently? I was a PF member between 2016 and 2020 canceled because of Covid and I just had to call them to let them know that I obviously couldn't go to the Gym because of the disease.

OOF. I'm a PF member and I don't plan on cancelling, but that's good to know, if I ever do need to. Sucks that they make it so hard.

What if i dont live in new yourk city

Excellent work says someone from Europe where we have a strong privacy and consumer rights regulation (GDPR)!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is why I admire the guy who vibe coded the entire Adobe platform and is giving it away for free---because Adobe charges exorbitant amounts if you cancel mid-"contract." A terrible ripoff.

I love this guy so much.

Agreed. It took me over a month to close my PayPal account!

Hard! Shalom

Well, as a pioneer Internet marketer (1996), I can tell you the vast majority of businesses who accept online credit cards, will have the 'endless loop refund approach' I complained about in 2001. I subsequently left the IM scene as a result of the hype, dishonesty and this kind of refund bullshit!

Cancel the NYPD Unlimited subscription

Thank you, Mayor Mamdani, dear heart! 🌹🌹🌹

How many times have you paid for a second month of an unwanted subscription to something that should never have been sold as a subscription in the first place? Abolish corporations, ICE, Republicans, and our current fake capitalism which is actually corporate welfare. Eliminate billionaires.

How about unsubscribing to fascism.

I could definitely use that in our state

Keep pushing what you’re able to do as mayor.

Mayor Mamdani strikes again! Always making life easier and loving his videos too! Great comms from the New York team!

10/10 for that!

If we visit NYC, can we cancel subscriptions like a local?

Hear Hear!

mistah mamdani im not a yorkian but can i still report sites

Thank you!
