      Can we stop it with groups abbreviated ESA? I can think of like 5 of them, and none of them have anything to do with each other.

      Also surprised to not see any gym companies on that list

    Groups representing telecom companies, home security companies, and internet advertisers don’t want to make subscriptions easier to cancel.

      Fuck the internet and whoever else turns cancellation into a 3 hour sales pitch.

      But yeah, gyms are worse.
