Like, you should be able to go into your banking UI, see all active subscriptions, and one-click cancel any of them. From that point, it's the service's responsibility to stop providing you service. One benefit of crypto is that if you try to make a subscription system on top of it, you pretty much *have to* do it that way.

My bank sort of does it for me by blacklisting apple semi regularly. Suggested workaround is to guess when the subscription will try to process the payment and have the one hour window set for the time. I kid you not. Other option is to cancel all protection, but that means no recovery or insurance. We need crypto.
