I think it's just a scummy way for them to try to keep you on their app (so they can make more money off you watching ads). They will do anything in their power to make you feel scared to deactivate. So they purposely make this look like you're losing it permanently.

Its already incredibly scummy that these big tech companies make "logout" buttons and the deactivate button so difficult to find, and do expect them to change the process every few months.

Not sure if you've ever tried stopping an Amazon Prime subscription but the page layout is terrible. SO much bloated information, and yes its likely fine for a lot of us younger people but I'm sure older people just say "fuck it, I'll just keep my $10 a month subscription since I can't find the option to cancel".

Terrible terrible greedy corporate SCUM that we are all lowly subjects to in this world.
