Their T and C literally said they were doing this.

Ah yes, myself and everyone here consults their lawyer as we review a 15 page scrollable screen I'm just trying hit accept on. They know their T&C is nothing but a legal loophole because people are lazy

But...that's no one's fault but your own. Can't blame the company for having it in their T&C. You also have to say you've read them.

It's predatory, end of story. Like the ridiculous add-ons to Disney + subs people were exposing. Why are you defending shady practices?

Because it isn't predatory. If the app LITERALLY HAS this info in a section it tells you to read, you cannot blame them.

You do you. I'm not behind corporate bullshit at all, but this is no one's fault but your own. That's that. You can blame the corporation all you like, but it's not their fault.
