Consumers trapped in recurring subscriptions with impossible cancellation processes

Millions of consumers are locked into unwanted recurring charges from subscription services because companies deliberately hide or complicate cancellation options, forcing them to waste hours on phone calls, chats, or navigate deliberately confusing websites. Current solutions fail because companies have financial incentives to keep customers trapped, and consumers lack enforcement mechanisms to actually cancel without corporate resistance. This regulatory gap has become so severe that NYC and other jurisdictions are now mandating 'click-to-cancel' laws.
