Either you realize it or not. I have a very different experience in my life than perhaps you have had so we see things differently. As does everyone. But the bottom line is...x-sells and/or backend product as it is in retail...has always been a huge way to make money. And Taass, you can repeat that paying for something 3 times as much all day long...but the fact is they are only paying for a ONE DOLLAR trial. Or even a FREE one. It's their choice to keep it or not. When you bought a car...please believe me you paid 4 to 10 thousand dollars (depending on the price range of the car) in b.s. "product" that you did NOT need. If a member forgot all about a x-sell and was billed for a solid year...he still would only be out less that a fraction of what that car dealer did to you. Doesn't that make any sense to you? It's common business practice. But...having said that...if any industry can get burnt for doing what others do with no problem...it's us in adult.
There is nothing hide on the paper work you sign when you buy a car. They can try whatever they like but you go over the contract and can say no. if they wont take it off you can get up and walk out.They dont have below the line you sign more things you weren't aware of and dont find out about til you get your payment book.

You can no to anything they throw at you.
Also this had nothing to do with 12 clicks and I commended him. This started when someone said something about saying most.
