Tapped “Subscribe” out of curiosity and of course it works. Wow -.-
Bad error handling in the client. Whoever programmed it didn’t think there could be errors in the backend, so when their request doesn’t go through, they default to the ‘no internet’ message.
Or, you know, it’s an asshole company, but Hanlon’s razor.
Or their unsubscribe link is blocked by pi-hole for tracking
This was my guess. I’ve experienced it a few times.
Or already unsubscribed (maybe clicked twice and UI did not prevent that?)
I wonder, can we do a ddos everytime they pull this shit?

Ah hah. Thought so.
You’re in luck. It looks like after that post blew up on Reddit, someone went out and actually implemented a commercial Cat Facts service:

Apparently there’s an entire industry with competing commercial services:
www.catfacts.co
At least one of the developers of the latter service posted to Reddit when he did so:
