How easy is it to cancel? Whats the quality of the socks like? Where are they made? Where are large pictures that depict some sort of detail about the socks?

None of this was evident in the minute I spent looking around the site and I ended up closing it.

I didn't ask any of these questions, understood the larger concept, and signed up. it sounds like you just don't like socks.
I don't like socks? If it's sarcasm, I'm missing it. I've got socks that cost 3$ a pair through ones that cost 30-35$ a pair and quite a few of them all at that. While you might choose to blindly dive in, I like to ascertain the quality of the product that I'm getting.

And why spend 12$ a month on these when I can buy something from Happy Socks or Richer Poorer socks for 12$ a pair from a multitude of patterns and designs whenever I want to and be assured of good quality every time?!

I have to agree with you. The call to action is easy to miss because I don't expect it to be in the lead visual. And then clicking on subscribe just gets me a form to fill out, well before I'm willing to pay. And the about page is cute, but not at all informative.
