OAK PARK, IL-Paying no mind to his forgetful nature and instead lending a fancy free, devil-may-care attitude toward his tendency to sign up for promotional offers,area man Ben Cameron was playing it fast and loose this week with his free trials for numerous subscription-based services. Yeah, why not? I'll try FUBI. It's free for the first month, so I'll just cancel after the trial runs out," said Cameron, whose goldfish-like memory rendered him completely ignorant to the fact that he had already forgotten to cancel previous free trials for GameFly, Paramount+, Peacock, and several others, despite the steady stream of automatic monthly payments continually withdrawn from his checking account. It's my way of gaming the system-why would I pay for Audible premium when I can just listen to all the audiobooks I want for one month, then cancel without ever paying a dime? I just set a reminder in my calendar to cancel it after a month. Anyone who pays for this stuff when they sign up is a sucker." At press time, Cameron was baffled to discover that he already had an email account associated with AppleTV+, for which he'd been charged the past eight months.
