I don't get it.
Why not just cancel now? You're paying for the whole year either way.
I don't understand why you have to set a calendar reminder.
Sorry if I'm missing a detail here.

So that's the detail I was missing.
(And indeed, you can't actually turn off yearly auto-renew until the last month of any year, which is horrendous and feels like it ought to be a highly illegal policy. Hence the calendar reminder. I would be furious too.)
This was conspicuously missing from the article, and is by far the most egregious behavior. Over the years I have personally dealt with it several times, and it’s so disgusting.
Like if you look at the words in print it’s almost hard to make them compute because the phrase seems at odds with itself, “they do not allow you to disable auto-renew until the final month of your subscription.”
