I dabble with publications
1) I subscribe to the Guardian atm even though it is free to read
2) I tried to restart subscriptions with the Financial Times and Economist recently and gave up on both due to shitty behaviour, shitty terms, shitty UI. It is not all about price
- intrasight 6y agoI've subscribed to The Economist for 25 years. Has been interesting to see it's transformations. Not only the transition to digital but also the topics they choose to cover - or not. I currently consume on my iPhone. Mostly I listen to it but do occasionally read. Before that I used Android. Certainly some usability issues that are annoying but most apps are worse.
- querez 6y agoAs someone who's only subscribed since recently: could you talk more about this? What observations have you made?
- intrasight 6y agoFor one, there was no China section. Now it's a manor section. Another thing that old time readers would remember is the risque photos they used to have. It's a British journalism thing - or used to be.
- notimetorelax 6y agoI could never justify FT subscription price. It’s nice when employers provide it, though.
