That is not 2 separate buttons on the right, like I initially thought clicking through checkout.

Take another look! Both the yellow button and "cancel ..." are part of the same bigger grey box.

This is OP's complaint. It looks like two boxes/buttons, but it's one bigger button containing both. You click "cancel...", and you've really just clicked the bigger box that subscribes.

Congrats, you did exactly, exactly, what OP did.

…being within the same container does not make them both the same clickable target. Do you know from personal experience that clicking “Cancel anytime” is clickable? Because as I said, over two hours ago,

It’s not possible to know from this screenshot alone if “Cancel Anytime” is a clickable target or if it’s just text, but when taking a quick glance at least to my eyes the options seem pretty clearly delineated. Amazon sucks and they are plenty predatory, I’m just saying this is a pretty mild example of hostile UI if at all.

First I'm not tracking down your other comments.

Second, if it's not clickable then OPs complaint makes no sense. The entire context of his post and text indicates that it's clickable. This is OPs entire complaint.

But at this point I think you're scrambling for making the exact, exact same mistake as OP. You played yourself. Enjoy the last ~~word~~ attempt to get yourself out of it.
