What Badcorp Does
Takes 'bad corp' at face value: a field guide to recognizing companies that treat customers badly — red flags, fine print, complaint routes, and refund rights.
How to read reviews past the stars: complaint patterns, response tone, and suspicious silence.
The clauses that matter in terms of service — auto-renewals, arbitration, and fee triggers, translated.
Why some subscriptions are hard to leave by design, and the documented steps that get you out.
Where complaints actually get results — company escalation paths, consumer agencies, and card disputes, in order.
Vague eco-claims versus verifiable ones — the difference between a certification and an adjective.
Chargebacks, cooling-off periods, and warranty basics — the leverage most customers never use.
How Badcorp Works
Run the two-minute pre-purchase check: complaint patterns, cancellation policy, and fee schedule.
Save confirmations, screenshots, and chat transcripts. Documentation is what turns a complaint into a refund.
Company first, then the card dispute or consumer agency. Each step in the guide notes what to include.

No. This is a pattern guide, not a blacklist. Learning the tactics — cancellation friction, junk fees, review manipulation — protects you from any company that uses them, including ones not founded yet.
Friction asymmetry: signing up takes one click but leaving takes a phone call. Companies choose how hard exit is, and that choice tells you how they expect to keep you.
No — it is educational. Consumer rights vary by country and state, and specific disputes may warrant a consumer protection agency or an attorney.
