I just cancelled my Amazon Prime membership. I took 5 confusing steps to achieve that. One click too much and I would have reactivated it. I always wondered, how does it feel to be the programmer who wrote that code? "It's my job, I don't care." "My boss made me do it." "We are simply educating the customer on making a better choice." "Well, we all have bills to pay."
