foobar123321··on Tell HN: Pluralsight and the dark-pattern of auto-renewals
> For anyone considering subscribing to Pluralsight, be aware that they will not inform you of their auto-renewal policy, and will charge you once your subscription is up for annual renewal without warning. In my case, this auto-renewal has cost me $300.

I'm glad you mention this. The same thing happened to me and is one of the big reasons I cancelled and won't be using them ever again.

I can't remember the details but it seemed sketchy at the time, I signed up for a free trial and they ended up just sending me a bill for $300 after the 7 days expired, without any text or warnings that this would happen before hand (not during the free trial sign up either).

Yes, a very dark-pattern indeed.
