Delete Disney+ Account (help.disneyplus.com)

I want to delete my Disney plus account but their app and website force some ad for their latest subscription deal. My account settings are not accessible anywhere. When I am logged in and refresh the page, I can briefly see my avatar in the top right corner before the ad comes up. According to Disney's instructions, I need to use that to access my account configuration and delete it.

Is this a denial of my right to erasure granted by the GDPR? Should I report this to some authority? If yes, who is that authority?

I had to contact customer service by email to delete my account, of I recall correctly.

I suspect that Disney pays bottom dollar for login technologists. Their account management is atrocious.

Amazon is good at this aswell, how does it come 2 massive companies can make it hard to delete ur account? Whilest smaller ones make it easy af. Privacy guards of countries need to be way more aggressive towards big tech companies
