YouTube Red Free Trials: Your credit card required in advance https://plus.google.com/+LaurenWeinstein/posts/ESc6a1AAwXZ
Since I'm now getting this question explicitly a bunch, I'll answer it explicitly. No, I'm not accepting the free trial to YouTube Red. If it were free without requiring a current payment method, I would. And at the end of the trial, if asked if I wanted to continue, I would make a determination at that time and add a payment method *at that time* if I wanted to continue. I'd do so happily. But I object to *free offers* from anyone that (for example) require a credit card in advance. This has become a popular model across the Net. I don't care who is doing it, and I really don't care very much why they're doing it (though it doesn't take rocket science to figure out likely reasons). I just don't like it. Your mileage, of course, may vary. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
