- MBCook 9y agoAnd $4/mo? I just subscribed.
- kbenson 9y agoShowed $1 for first month and $10/mo after that for me as the cheapest option, but I signed up anyway. That's a good value if I consider it supporting a vital institution.
- MBCook 9y agoThat seems to be the price if you go to the Washington Post. If you go to Amazon and you are a prime member and subscribe monthly then it’s six months free and $4/mo after that. Oddly if you’re a prime member the yearly subscription is still $100.
- kbenson 9y agoYeah, I noticed that after posting. As I alluded to in my comment though, I don't mind paying a bit more I wonder how many subscriptions this story resulted in?
- MBCook 9y agoThat would certainly be interesting to see. Anecdotally I keep running into pay walls for them and the New York Times. However the times has a very high price and their recent soft profile of a Nazi has put a really sour taste in my mouth about the idea of supporting them even if their price was more reasonable. This is a great story and it definitely pushed me over the edge. I’m not sure I would have ended up subscribing in the next month or two if it wasn’t for this.
- rconti 9y agodammit. Oh well, I'm doing $10/mo for digital, seems like a good deal. Same for NYTimes, and a subscription to the Economist. Then I hit someone else's paywall and start seeing red...
