Shutterstock to pay $35M over hard-to-cancel subscriptions

Adobe needs to be next. I had to cancel a card because that was easier than cancelling Creative Cloud.

Did Shutterstock come out money ahead?

Is 35 million and the potential for future punishment a sufficient deterrent?

A great idea of a product is some sort of unified system for companies to correctly manage subscriptions. There needs to be standards for what makes a user flow acceptable or not when it comes to cancellations.
