> Have you ever gotten stuck with a monthly fee for something that's hard to cancel? It's a real pain the butt, no?

Not at all, credit card charge-backs are easy. I don't need Apple at all.

In fact, Apple acting as the intermediary makes things worse, because if I wish to dispute/chargeback a payment with a particular app, I have to do that to Apple, which could have unrelated negative effects on my other purchases through them.

The problem with a chargeback is that it doesn’t actually cancel the service. You’re likely to see the same charge on your next month’s statement.

Now, as part of the chargeback process the merchant may cancel your subscription, but they’re also likely to ban you as a customer from ever using their services again.

If things have reached the point at which I'm doing a chargeback, I'm clearly not too concerned with, or interested in, remaining their customer.
