    I’m sure these lobbyists are being paid millions to prevent buttons that would make them make more money. Makes total sense.

      You can’t just sarcastically say a statement that no one else was even implying to… I don’t even know wtf you’re trying to do here.

      No one is arguing that these buttons will benefit cable companies. All the arguments I’ve read so far in here boil down to “people should be able to cancel services they don’t want even if it fucks the cable companies” sometimes combined with a dose of “and I hope it does fuck them”.

        I’m not rebuking anyone, I’m making a sarcastic comment targeting the lawyers and their stupid argument.

        The relevant part I’m commenting on is the quote, not the comment.
