Not surprised.

They keep offering these "Free Trials" of Nitro, but then they wanted me to put in a credit card in order to claim it?

Last I checked free means I'm not handing over shit.

But hey I know what's up, they just want me to forget I have Nitro, bill me for a month when I do, and then make it difficult to cancel knowing that I can't just tell my bank to dispute the charge because then they'd ban my account.

That's why the second the Free Trial needed a card, I just backed out of it.

When are we switching to Revolt?

it's not hard, though? I live in Turkey so I don't get protected by EU

Even then, it's still a single button press

People are barely literate these days, I'm not surprised.

Friendly reminder you can cancel your trial version / free month if you have activated one recently, and you'll keep the perks until your trial runs out.

Glad they are going for this, although it seems a bit weird that they aren't going for bigger players that have similar or worse tactics.

Idk where they live but pressing cancel can't be that difficult surely.
Unless they changed that.

I never saw a reason to give my not-do-hard-earned money to discord, but I have done so elsewhere online, and I will continue to do so.

My approach is always the same: I use this one card I have that is by default blocking online purchases. But I can through my bank app allow online purchases for the next hour. Works great for those "free" trials that require your card details, hoping you'll forget to subscribe.

Huh? Every trial I have had, it's been like two button presses to cancel.

Can they sue crunch fitness next?
