Never Pay For Another Bulls**t Subscription Again!
The F U Trials Manifesto
We are done getting hustled by garbage software that hides behind “No Obligation Free Trials” and then raids our wallets the second we forget to cancel.
We are done wasting hours begging offshore customer service to hand back our own money, while they juggle a thousand other poor souls in chat purgatory.
We are done with tech companies acting like demigods, demanding loyalty oaths, blood sacrifices, and the patience of a saint just to cancel a subscription.
Enough. If companies can’t make products worth paying for, they shouldn’t be tricking us into paying for them at all.
That’s why we built F U Trials. A free weapon against subscription scams. A way to dodge the WTF charges, the wasted time, and the rage that follows.
And because knowledge is power, we’re building the ultimate library on free trials, subscriptions, and your consumer rights.
This is war. Pick a side.
