That sucks. I’d rather just pay it manually every month, or with a script running on my end.

That sounds fun and convenient to manage for the average person…

our fanatical obsession with convenience (and corporations exploiting that) is what created this mess.

Autopay is so expected now that many subscriptions simply don’t offer options to pay per month.

It should be as implement any “recurrent payment” as a banking procedure. Viewable in their apps or in the office. And being able to just cancel them at any time with your bank.

“Having to use this app or website is too hard. It would be more fun and convenient to jump through whatever hoops the gym decides.”

App or website? They’re talking about rolling their own code to interface with the public API of whatever service is being talked about. That’s a boatload of effort to fix something that shouldn’t be a problem to begin with.
