    The document warns paying customers of Scribd to cancel their subscription the day before they are charged to fully use the remainder of their time. It notes that Scribd uses algorithms to block content from free trial users, especially items added to reading lists. After a year with no blocking, the author experienced blocking after canceling for 6 days, which Scribd claimed always happens but seemed related to the cancellation. It recommends reading a blog that details experiments showing Scribd limits content despite advertising unlimited access.

    So be warned.

    If you pay for Scribd and want to cancel, do it the day before they
    charge so that you can fully use up the remainder of your time as a paying
    customer. If you use a free trial, be aware that they use an algorithm to block the
    stuff you read and put in your list, especially your list. I dont know about other
    paying customers, but I know that after a year of being with them they never
    blocked anything ever. Then they act like this is something that always happens and
    act like it had nothing to do with me canceling for 6 days.

    I felt like I had to warn y'all because I would have felt bad if someone joined
    Scribd because of my gushing post and ended up screwed.

    If you're interested in this please read the blog I'm going to post below. She did
    some experiments and goes into much better detail about what's going on and why
    Scribd is sort of a scam as far as their advertising as "unlimited" goes.
