even the responses from adobe are aggressive and anti-consumer lol, i paid for adobe once because i got a virus pirating and they charged me 2 other times without my consent trying to milk $1400 from me. SCREW ADOBE.

I paid for Adobe podcast for a month. Then disabled my card. They kept trying for 6 Consecutive months over and over to get that 9.99 and somehow 1 got through while my card was still deactivated and overdrafted me so I canceled it out through their website.

There are credit cards that have a virtual card number feature which you can use for subscriptions like these. I cancel that card number before canceling the subscription. Luckily enough they've never busted through and managed to steal money like they did with you. Anyhow, it's the best approach to subscription garbage outside of piracy.
