You do not understand. Of course I know that if I fail to cancel, then I must keep paying. I had a month's subscription. At worst I expected to pay for one extra month of subscription before I remembered to cancel. I was OK with that perceived risk and understood it.

What I did not expect: to cancel one month of subscription you must pay 6 months of subscription as a cancellation fee. Maybe you expect that, but I have seen that anywhere else and did not expect it.

>So yes, sorry, as the other reply says, I might come across uncharitable or even condescending, but as tech people developing tech stuff how can one not be at least a little careful when there's a big "free candy" sign slapped onto something?

It wasn't free candy in my case, I was paying.
