OTT platforms manipulating us

On subscriptions, rental costs, ads and cancelling subscriptions. I have personally experienced this with jiohotstar and amazon prime video and I dont seem to be alone.

Can LocalCircles escalate this like it did on tobacco concerns and concerns on adult content? more

too much manupulation then what use of Majority Governments? more  
yes truly said more  
Except Netflix and Mubi, no streaming OTT is trustworthy as all of them have hidden agenda of exorting money from the subscribers in the name of auto debit for auto renewal, putting adds, difficult cancellation process and many more, always dictating their own trems more  
This is, first of all, a subscription service; hence, only the paying customer is a consumer to complain. Policies if laid out and disclosed at the time of subscription, will hold. A breach can be sustained only if they do something different from what we signed up for. This is similar to when HD service was initially launched with no ads. As the base grew, they have peppered it with ads. This is the standard strategy - hook and extract. They have different policies for the developed world and treat nations like India as suckers. Even the content repository is far smaller than what is available in the whiteman’s world. more  
Yeah pay for subscription and then. Get ads during movies. more
