Their annual digital Prime subscription is on sale for only $12. That's dirt cheap for such quality content. I just bought one. I encourage others to take advantage of this sale price and buy their subscription. (Note - I am not affiliated with them in anyway - just want to support good content.)

I got the yearly print subscription this year. They managed to get me one copy & it was 4 months delayed. I too just want good content but if you can’t provide it without stiffing the content creators or your customers go away.

  Kinda the same. Brought a 2year print subscription in May. Haven't received a single issues, contacted them a couple of times, said to wait & then they "shipped themselves". Still got nothing. :(

  Same here - I got my first issue about 4 months late, and then never received the 2nd one, then the 3rd magically showed up on time.

  I'm at 50% delivered for my year-long subscription, one of which I had to specifically request through their support site. These delivery issues are the key thing that has prevented me from extending my subscription or buying Prime for other people. I want them to succeed and really like the content, but success is self-reinforcing in media.

FWIW, I had earlier subscribed to digital prime at $29 or so when they had a promotion several months ago, and later they ran another promotion for lifetime digital subscription at around $65. When asked about it, they promptly responded and let me pay the difference and upgrade to the lifetime subscription. I value such prompt and relevant customer care wherever it is, and I sincerely hope Nautilus can find a better source of funding for the long term.

Turns out you can sell content cheaply when you don’t pay the people who create it.

I tried subscribing a few months ago. Their payment form was busted. The state entry on the billing address was a "smart" dropdown that could only be advanced by keyboard and only one state per focus. Advancing from Alaska to Arizona required switching focus back to the city field, then tab, then down arrow. Getting to Arkansas required doing that again. I closed the tab well before I got to Pennsylvania. Was whatever conversion boost this javascript abomination was designed to achieve worth it?
