My 2 year old reactivated prime twice now, and a britbox subscription, all playing with the remote. I swear you can sit on the fire stick remote and it'll sign you up.

I actually was a prime member the first time, I cancelled it after that britbox subscription. We literally go out of our way now to avoid Amazon--- which is haaaard. At least you can get a refund if you bug them enough.

It's so easy, a toddler could do it.

Ok, you're the third person I've heard of that had an accidental britbox subscription. I'm not even sure you have to sit on the remote for that one.
