With cancellations surging, many subscribers reported technical issues. On Reddit’s r/Fauxmoi, one post read, “The page to cancel your Hulu/Disney+ subscription keeps crashing.”

    Call me a cynic, but engineering some rate limit on a cancellation page suits them rather well

      Yeah it’s not like services make the cancellation process super difficult. It’s like mafia style extortion. They make this type of stuff so difficult, I like to waste their time too, and make sure it involves wasting so many of their employees time, which they have to pay for.
