I had such a hard time cancelling The Economist last time, I joined their web chat to ask them if cancelling was as easy as signing up and if it was I would subscribe. Unfortunately my place in the queue kept _incrementing_, so I ended up buying myself a gift subscription so I knew I wouldn't have to go through that again.

Didn't California pass a law saying you got to cancel as easily as you signed up?

Yes, which is why a hack at some of these websites is to set your address as being in California, at which point one-click cancellation buttons magically seem to appear.

Wow, having different pages based on state seems to be such an amount of effort that it's basically an admission of fraud to have the other version: you must make enough money of not-cancelling to justify having two.
