minus-squarefoggy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up145arrow-down1·1 year agoI will absolutely employ a 0 tolerance policy on forced ads. If I have paid for a service to be ad free and you throw me an ad, I won’t pay for your service. Hell, I’ll back-charge through my creditor and say I paid for a service that was not delivered.
minus-squareAlbbi@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up69·1 year agoCareful of backcharging large companies. They’ll remove your account from all their services. Looking at you Google.

minus-squareTheEntity@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·1 year agoThe fine print didn’t say I won’t do a chargeback either. Two can play this game.
minus-squaretreefrog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·1 year agoI’d try to get a refund first unless you never plan to shop on Amazon again.
