    Then just make a prompt that asks “Are you sure you want to cancel our services?”.

      What if they accidentally click yes there too? Do you need a double sure confirmation? And a triple sure for that one? And so on?

        And 15 confirmations in, once they’ve got the “click OK” rhythm going, we can put one that says “would you like to keep your subscription active?”

          And a random screen where cancel means “exit out of this cancellation process” rather than “cancel subscription”

        I’m sorry sir but you’re going to have to get that cancellation request notorized
