This will also apply to other subscription businesses
A lot of the world is becoming a subscription model because it’s more profitable but it’s not always the best for its customers

The NYSC near me already cost $150, so I gladly pay $75 more if it means not having roaches in my gym.
Had me afraid to even take my shoes off to squat/deadlift
Wait HOW MUCH? NYSC was running $19.99 promos couple years back. When that change?

A “click-to-cancel” rule, which would have required businesses to make it easy for consumers to cancel unwanted subscriptions and memberships, has been blocked by a federal appeals court just days before it was set to go into effect.
The Federal Trad Commission’s proposed changes, adopted in October, required businesses to obtain a customer’s consent before charging for memberships, Dropbox settles over auto-renew complaint in California and programs linked to free trial offers.
The FTC said at the time that businesses must also disclose when free trials or other promotional offers will end and let customers cancel recurring subscriptions as easily as they started them.
The rule was set to go into effect on Monday, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit said this week that the FTC made a procedural error by failing to come up with a preliminary regulatory analysis, which is required for rules whose annual impact on the U.S. economy is more than $100 million.
Anything to give businesses a leg up over the consumer. Regardless of the judge's ruling the FTC needs to submit it again. But given the changes since last October, it will be a lot more difficult to push it through this time around.

│ │ Pro tip: if you want to cancel a planet fitness membership without having to send a letter or go in person, log into your account online and change your home gym to any one in California. You should then get the option to cancel it online.
