Not having to prove who I am to my people.

First, the Rant:

  1. I don’t want to sign up for your 30-day free trial, only to find out two years later that I’ve been paying $14.95 a month for something I’ve never had time to read/do/apply. That’s $358.80 that I’ll never see again. For nothing. So NO. No more 30-day free trials. No 7-day, no 14-day, no any day free trials, ever again.
  2. I don’t even want any more full money back guarantee trials. Because the only guarantee you can count on is the guarantee that I won’t remember in time to invoke the money back part.
  3. Plus. I’m sick of having to log in for everything.
  4. I’m sick of having to remember passwords, especially having to remember the password to where I keep all my passwords.
  5. And then! Having successfully jumped through the password hoops — now they want me to receive a text with a confirmation number. Because they still don’t trust me. God help me if I accidentally hit one of the digits wrong. Now, I’m no longer me, so I might as well walk into the ocean.
  6. The final straw (oh, it’s not the final one by far, but it’s usually the step that I hate the most) is that I now have to check a box to prove TO A ROBOT that I am not a robot.
