The use of digital "dark patterns" is truly unsettling- other businesses that use these tricks include credit bureaus, which sell essentially useless credit monitoring services (you can freeze credit for free and get annual credit reports for free, too) - but customers are tracked and tricked and sign up or are signed up and then get charged. I'm a Prime member and signed up voluntarily, but - signing up and canceling should be easy and voluntary.
