I wonder if some of these cross sales that are going on in this industry could be targeted in the same way.

No they are apples and oranges. A member gets emails with cancel links as soon as they buy a membership that has a pre-check. They get an email from the "host" paysite. AND a separate email from the x-sell site. User/Pass and full instructions and links to cancel are included along with support phone and email. So "no" All this x-sell drama is just that: drama Been going on for years, and adult didn't invent pre-checked x-sells. They've been in "mainstream" even longer. Not to mention the "Free" software that people download to this very day that installs shit like zango and other programs on your computer without your knowledge.
