There is a coffee shop here that has a membership plan (you can roast at the shop it’s cool. Membership = no charge to roast and discounts on beans). It’s monthly and you have to re-up to keep it. It’s great and I’m happy to support them.

The author's LinkedIn style usage of emojis repulsed me and had me closing the article.

The fact that a subscription designed to cancel itself is considered innovative tells you everything you need to know about how low the bar is. We've normalized making it hard to leave to the point where 'letting you go' is a feature.

But it wasn't? TFA is describing a technical issue that kept cancelling a subscription. This is not a "we've noticed that you haven't been using the service and paused billing" situation.
