I've been working since last fall to cancel recurring contributions my father got onto but can't get off of. They don't centralize all the recurring charges, everything looks long canceled under his login. When you find receipts (only by e-mail), they don't make recurrences easy to cancel. Each time I've thought I've gotten them all, I find a few charges keep reappearing. They hold themselves out as the good guys, but they are so sketch. To think I even used to tip them.

("not easy to cancel" means they expire the links in the receipts — pretty quickly, so you have to request a fresh receipt copy by e-mail then cancel through that link then fill a form with a reason for the cancelation. it's not end-of-the-world arduous, but plenty of speedbumps for the older people outraged by MSNBC into signing up for these.)
