I tried the site out initially and paid for a full year. It ended up being too damn buggy so I switched to something else. I completely forgot all about it until yesterday, when I got a recurring charge automatically and without notice on my Paypal account. It's kind of shitty they didn't send out renewal reminders to give people a chance to cancel.

GAH. I foolishly didn't remember there was an auto-renew. Just cancelled mine which was due to re-up in June.

Newsblur should definitely remind folks lest they get a storm of complaints -- or worse get chargebacks.

Shitty, but I don't think it was done maliciously.
