SiriusXM Sued Again; Jim & Sam on Borrowed Time?

[SpitballSparky]

Saw this pop up in my news feed today:

SiriusXM sued for allegedly trapping customers in unwanted subscriptions | CNN Business

SiriusXM is the target of a lawsuit from the New York attorney general’s office, accusing the satellite radio company of trapping customers in subscriptions and finding ways to prevent them from cancelling.

How many times is this shitty company going to get sued for duping its boomer trucker customers into paying for modern Howard Stern and Jim & Sam?

Even if they are on the verge of bankruptcy, someone will buy their corpse. Having radios in every modern car in the country is worth a lot. Just need non retarded management.

Isn't the communication between the satellite service and each automobile duplex? That's worth a lot...

The next time I go to my mom's I'm gonna plug her old SXM player thingy in and make sure she hasn't been paying for it for the five years she hasn't used it. I remember her saying when she canceled, they kept calling and basically begging her and offering her X free months and a bunch of shit. "Pleeeeaaaase don't cancel Ms. Vigoda. I'll suck yo dick, man!"

Yeah they pretty give it for free if you just say you want to cancel just to keep you as a “subscriber” and hope you forget and don’t notice.

The thing is, I don't mind the idea of satellite radio. When I had it I didn't mind the 80s alternative channel and I liked the DJs. I don't like that I have to have separate accounts for my phone and my car, plus I just can't justify paying a sub for something I use so infrequently
The biggest reason I ever had it was because of OnA and we know how that all ended up
Oh radio Le Mans is cool too but that's once a year

 

[Sue Lightning]

Hold on, sued for making subscriptions hard to cancel? I know a former SXM DJ with the same problem…

 

[NigelCumia]

Once car companies figure out they can partner with t mobile and offer free data plans for streaming instead of satellite it's over.

Ok, as everyone knows i’m a young faggot so someone actually alive for this shit can correct me.

The problems with terrestrial radio made satellite novel. Fuck a generic boomer rock station, here at SXM we have different stations for every subgenre and no ads. Anybody who used the radio for music would absolutely choose Satellite at the time even if it were a subscription. Talk radio had it’s upsides with satellite too with it’s uncensored content, but not nearly as many people were subbing for this as they were music.

However, the iPhone just killed this retarded shit. Now i can choose any song i want to hear from everything thats ever been released. If I want a radio station and for it to be specific I can plug my phone into the radio and open up Pandora. So ok, now the only real edge satellite has over terrestrial AND mobile devices with uncensored talk radio.

And then podcasts happened.

Now there is TRULY no reason to buy satellite radio unless you are a truck driver or an old fuck who cant operate a phone.

I got a lifetime sub when it first came out and then paid extra for Howard after the merger. I’ve taken every free offer since and wasted time fighting them every time they tried to make up excuses to cancel it. So I still have 2 radios and an account for my dad as part of the membership. Somewhere along the line I got an app on my phone too. I cancelled the credit card 15 years ago and refuse to update it when they call.

In my experience, Boomers love SiriusXM. True, you can get more content from your phone, but linking a phone to a car stereo system and using it whole driving is just enough of a pain in the ass to make SXM an easier option.

Tom Petty Radio.

Bought a new car last month and it came with a 3-month sub to Sirius. I've listened to maybe 10 minutes when I was charging my phone. Other than that, I just use Spotify off my phone or a USB thumb drive that has 3 gigs of music on it.

Every boomer I know who has Sirius only listens to the generic boomer rock stations.

So you’d have to have a sub for your car and your phone? Couldn’t you just use your phone in the car? Who are they tripping up with that?

I think the deal was you can get the phone app for 1$ if you had a sub. Once in awhile they offered free trials which they can’t seem to shut off afterwards

They should get sued for putting out sub mediocre programming year after year.
