It's even worse when they block access to an account if you don't accept the revised ToS. I was a Vultr customer for years, and then earlier this year they put a ToS block in my face when I logged on with a binding arbitration agreement, and there was no way to disagree or "remind me later." My servers were still running, so they obviously didn't need my consent to continue using the service, but they prevented me from managing my account without accepting the Tos.

So, out of spite, I used "Inspect Element" to remove the popup to get to the support page to close my account. I'm now with Hetzner, which also has the stupid binding arbitration agreement, but so far they haven't presented me with a page-blocking popup.

Wait, some people don't read the ToS agreements? I'm shocked!

I must be the only one who spend thousands of dollars getting my lawyer to read over the TOS, just so I can sign up to read grocery store flyers! /s
