Subscriptions used to feel like a treat—pay once a month, get instant access, and never worry again. But now, too many companies use auto-renewal like a trap door waiting to snap shut on your bank account.

This isn’t convenience; it’s calculated friction designed to keep money flowing without consent. The result? Millions of dollars vanish each year from consumers who never meant to pay in the first place.
