Matt Manners

Looking for a video editor. Short form social content, some longer cuts too. Must be reliable, communicative and quick. Retainer available for the right person. DM me a link to your work. Can start this week.

you'll subscribe to everything and be deeply unhappy

just edited a 90 minute podcast on how subscriptions are ruining everything, took four hours. Any remote video editors in the house?

"i'm sorry dave, i'm afraid i can't do that"

instagram is now a subscription, the list never ends

when I ask people over 30 how many recurring payments they have and the response is "about 2 or 3"

@TanyaEvadne @VodafoneUK totally agree and I hope this type of process changes in the future

@themattmanners @VodafoneUK Hi Matt, no, it hasn't been resolved. I'm so glad I took screenshots of the cancellation confirmation, but #vodafone have yet to resolve it. It seems ridiculous to have to contact a company so many times to cancel something!

@VodafoneUK I contacted you to cancel a Disney subscription which was offered for free & then ended up not being free. It was confirmed that it was cancelled, & I would not be charged. So why have I just discovered that it is still active and I am being charged for it. #Vodafone

@MahdiEzz_code @zilvestro this is the way

@zilvestro I cancel immediately after every subscription so I won't forget and get charged for it if I love it, I'll resub anyway

User starts a free trial Cancels it right away Do you let them keep access until the trial ends or cut them off immediately?

@stphnbsvrt truth!

Just realized I've been paying for 8 different AI coding subscriptions and I still write most of my code the same way I did 3 years ago. Innovation is a flat subscription fee charged monthly until you cancel.

@luffymindset2 did you set an alert before it auto-renewed?

uhhh i thought i cancelled my linkedin premium trial and i guess it didnt go through and i just got charged $260 for a year subscription uhh

@sullenfcwn I built an entire app because of a yearly charge by Adobe. lol

i hate adobe <3 i swear i canceled my subscription months ago and only today realised i’ve been charged for it every month anyway. and now if i want to cancel i have to pay like 70 euros for it

@fer_rodgar @MyHeritage Had this before with another company - when did you cancel?

@MyHeritage They are cowboys, got charged 121 for an annual subscription and, after asking for a refund or cancellation I only was able to cancel the renewal, so even using the app for 1 month only I cancel the following months, be careful before you subscribe.

MyHeritage just became the first major DNA company to fully adopt Whole Genome Sequencing! YourDNAGuide’s Diahan Southard says: “I love to see MyHeritage and their commitment to genealogists.” The future of DNA discovery starts here 👉 brnw.ch/21wWGse

@PeterRalphBooks @circleboom make sure to set an alert on that this time next year, $377 is an auto renewal?

@circleboom Thank you. I'm only interested in unfollows. Does the Limited Plan show unfollows?

Something going on. All these subscriptions emerged as quick and easy payments for access. Then they multiplied. Entertainment, storage, software, fitness, food, even dating. The average person now manages dozens. Each priced “just low enough” to ignore, with each renewal frictionless by design. We’ve normalised constant extraction by these companies. Prices are on the rise ever so quietly, trials fade, and yet we stay. Because canceling feels like loss. Because the next one feels different. Another month, another receipt.

@SamiStudiox safe

I'm interested in making a lil calm hangout discord server for editors and related, no editing no business no rules just chit chat, if you're interested leave a reply.

@calver @ProductHunt I think the science is most definitely there, when do you launch? I'll give it a go.

@themattmanners @ProductHunt Cheers @themattmanners sunlight is essential, I dunno yet if anybody cares enough though - I’ll find out when I launch 🤣

pretend i'm an investor. pitch me your product in 5 words or less 👇

@calver @ProductHunt v nice concept sir, seems essential for a happier life.

@ProductHunt Sunlight before screenlight

Soon we'll see unreal sketches from the future, inspired by the past.
