When you buy a yearly subscription from somewhere, and you get a e-mail from them the day after about your credit card expiring this month.

I’m not going to fucking give you any money in a year.

@simonwoods it's not a bad practice to do it, but the timing was all wrong

@hjertnes Yep, agreed. Setting it by the customer's very personal and highly confidential details is about as tasteless as anything. If an amateur can quickly think of the ways in which it is horrible, and since then every time I have thought about it it just gets worse, then how has somebody been paid to say yes to that design? Madness.

@simonwoods I prefer them to tell me about it, because I have multiple times had to spend hours trying to figure out why stuff stopped working just tk figure out that a tiny component a client or employer use hasn't been paid because of an expired credit card

@hjertnes Oh for sure. Just tie it to the length of the subscription. You could even build a setting where the user gets to decide when they get notified, eg a month before expiration, a week, a day.
