This sounds like a “you” problem. If your service were any good this wouldn’t be a concern because nobody would have a reason to reach that page. Take those discounted bundles and fuck right off.

Yep, it’s a terrible argument but it’s the only one they’ve got. They can’t admit the easier it is to cancel service the more customers they’ll lose. Nor can they say that the cable industry has spent a fortune researching how to make canceling service just frustrating enough that people will put it off long enough for the urge to eventually pass. And believe it or not, exploiting people’s laziness has been a surprisingly effective customer retention strategy for decades.
Consequences?
Is the button an unsubscribe button or a button for a guillotine?
“imperative”
I’m sure these lobbyists are being paid millions to prevent buttons that would make them make more money. Makes total sense.
