It seems like all this sketchiness actually hurts these companies. I do ten times more subscriptions when I can go through apple and know I can cancel in 5 seconds.

The worst part is it poisons the whole business model for me. Even if your company could restrain itself from these tactics I won't know that until it is to late and even if I did research it there isn't any reason it couldn't change to be awful from being OK. The end result is I turn my nose at the very idea because subscription services are fine with me as an idea but in practice I just don't want to waste the energy dealing with them.
