Corporate fascism tactics

This extortion organization is using such a predatory and conniving business practice - I haven't come across anything like this in my entire life. They made it super easy to get their premium 'Albatross' membership and impossible to cancel/downgrade it before the automatic renewal. This is the root of the problem, not only do they NOT notify you that your subscription is about to be renewed soon, there is not even a way to downgrade your membership before the automatic renewal on their website under account settings. Apparently, you can only downgrade 1 day before the renewal starts. Nice scheming right there, huh? I've tried to cancel my membership on multiple occasions before the renewal date and was not able to do so. It's done so on purpose to scam people off of their hard earned money. If this organization was half decent, your account would have been automatically downgraded to Basic Member until you decide to pay for another year's subscription service. By the way, customer service is non-existent - they just send prepared templates to create enough stress (through bullying/harassment) for people to finally cave in and pay them. Do NOT cave in. If enough people just unsubscribe from their newsletters and mark those threatening emails as spam, these greedy pigs will go under eventually. Ignore their emails. I've chatted with an ex-member on FB and she said that all these threats on legal actions mean nothing. She was advised to write a complaint to the German Commodity, as apparently, all the companies registered in Germany report to them. Also, there is nothing special about their events hence I stopped going long before my renewal date. You can find the exact same thing on Meetup and Facebook which don't use extortion methods on their members. Everything is basically centered around dating, more specifically older people (mostly thirsty men) trying to hook up with younger folk. You can talk to strangers at your local bar for free.
