Seth GodinGo to your Google account right now and check how many third-party apps have access to your data. I’ll wait. Done? Shocked? When I checked mine last month, forty-three apps had access to my Google account. Forty-three. Apps I hadn’t used in years. A quiz website from 2019. A flight comparison tool I used once. … Read more

Steam’s refund policy looks generous on paper. Two hours of playtime. Fourteen days from purchase. Request a refund and get your money back. Simple. Except it’s not that simple when you actually try it. I’ve requested eleven Steam refunds over the past six years. Nine were approved. Two were rejected. The difference between approval and … Read more
I kept Deliveroo Plus for eleven months longer than I should have. Every month, £3.49 came out of my account. Every month I told myself I’d order enough to justify it. Most months I ordered once. Sometimes I didn’t order at all. That’s £38.39 I spent on a “free delivery” service for deliveries I mostly … Read more
My daughter spent £127.43 on Roblox in a single afternoon. She’s nine. She knew my phone password. Google Play had my card saved with no purchase authentication enabled. And Roblox’s in-game currency purchases are designed to feel like they’re free when you’re a kid tapping a shiny button that says “Buy Robux.” I didn’t notice … Read more
HelloFresh is one of those subscriptions where signing up takes thirty seconds but cancelling feels like escaping a clingy relationship. You go to cancel. They offer you a discount. You say no. They suggest you pause instead. You say no again. They ask why you’re leaving. You explain. They offer another discount. You persist. They … Read more
Try finding a “Delete Account” button on Shein. Go on. Open the app right now and look. I spent twenty minutes going through every single menu, every settings page, every option buried in their app. There’s no delete button. Not hidden at the bottom. Not tucked away in a submenu.

Open Facebook right now. Go to Settings. Find “Off-Facebook Activity.” Look at the list. The first time I did this, I genuinely felt sick. Boots. Rightmove. ASOS. Trainline. My energy provider. My bank’s website. Over a hundred and seventy websites and apps had been sending my browsing data directly to Facebook without me ever agreeing … Read more
Vinted makes it weirdly personal when you try to leave. There’s no clean “Delete Account” button waiting for you. Instead you get guilt-tripped through a process that asks why you’re going, whether you’re sure, whether you’d like to take a break instead. I sold about forty items on Vinted over two years. Mostly clothes I’d … Read more
I bought Gran Turismo 7 last March for £59.99 on the PlayStation Store. Got home from work, downloaded it, played for twenty minutes, realised it wasn’t what I expected. Went looking for a refund button. There isn’t one. No refund page. No obvious link. No “return this purchase” option anywhere in the PS5 interface. Sony … Read more
