Yes you fucking should

Fuck them. Next force gyms and newspapers to allow you to cancel with one click.

I’m so lucky, my gym membership auto cancels if I don’t pay in advance.

Yep, my gym would love to cancel my membership. I also paid in advance: 2 years worth for a special limited-time promo. Now, I can renew yearly for $99. Only catch is, if it ever expires, it can't be joined again. They will pry it from my cold, toned hands!

Or just force all subscriptions to allow you to cancel with one click

Subscriptions with a dead man's switch. If you don't signal you want to keep the subscription after a few years, it's automatically cancelled. You can sign up at the same price you left with if it cancels automatically.

I don’t think an annual dead man’s switch is unreasonable or burdensome.

That would be fine with me too. I think every two would be my sweet spot if it was something like spotify.
